In total contrast to Get The Answer You Want thread, if you think you have the answers already or don't want really want to know, then just don't ask.

I know the answer so I won't bother to ask you the question. The answer is.... nope, not going to tell you the answer either.

My answer is a question - is a humane, dignified death really the worst possible outcome for an animal? Really?

No. Shunting it from home to home is worse. Especially when the likely end result is that it will be PTS anyway.

Yes if you can afford to buy it and look after it properly.

are some people so bad at riding that they just shouldnt be allowed to do it - most other sports seem better at weeding out/self selecting out those who have no aptitude at all & most [all] other sports dont tend to involve a partnership with another alive thing - so actually being pants at them is just like re-living 5th form PE - death threats & social anihilation - but you cant actually mess anybody else up
does that make sense?????

Not necessarily. With the right horse, anyone can enjoy riding. This does not apply to people who are cruel/abusive to horses. These should be fed to hounds.are some people so bad at riding that they just shouldnt be allowed to do it - most other sports seem better at weeding out/self selecting out those who have no aptitude at all & most [all] other sports dont tend to involve a partnership with another alive thing - so actually being pants at them is just like re-living 5th form PE - death threats & social anihilation - but you cant actually mess anybody else up

I do wonder about that sometimes - but then I think I'm being unfair. I think that anyone well-meaning and willing to learn should be able to enjoy horses and riding.
But sometimes there are people who are so deluded about their own abilities that it doesn't seem fair on even the most tolerant and placid horse to have to put up with them.

Honestly I just can't imagine someone THAT awful. I've seen some horses utterly unphased by the most appalling riding. It's a totally different kettle of fish if the sack of potatoes with epilectic hands insists on riding a nervy TB...

Well I suppose I meant when the horse is upset by the bad riding but the rider can't or won't see that it is their riding that is the problem, and instead blames the horse in the most ridiculous way, imagining that the horse is evil and vindictive and enjoys deliberately humiliating them.
Seen it too much.
of course my horse does enjoy humiliating me

Well quite; the horse and rider have to be suitably matched. I really REALLY hate it when people blame their horse for their own rubbishness and I'm always pleased when the horse proves what ****ing idiots they are.

Dear PF
I am interested to know if any of the horses in your signature have ever PMed you to ask to be removed.
I am also interested to know if you painted them.
my favourite is under your name on the left and the second from the left. Beautiful heads.

LOL, if they had, I would've removed them so no, they haven't, nor have their owners. Yes, I did paint/draw them. The one in my avatar (left, under my name) is a watercolour of my girl, and the second from the left (and the third and fourth for that matter) belongs to my neighbour
She's a very pretty, very talented girly

You are also very talented. Do you do commissions? I will PM you perhaps for fear of advertising.
