Previously we’ve looked at Arguments 1 and 2, in favor of closing the horse processing facilities. And if you missed the introduction, or the post that defined animal rights vs. animal welfare, you might want to catch up before reading this one!
Today we’ll tackle Argument 3 (from this report)- that horse owners will do [...]
Here are my picks for this week’s Macro Challenge- these are some previously unpublished photos taken from home. Since it’s been raining nearly non-stop for going on three weeks now, I’m really homesick. I came here to ride, and can’t do that; at least at home while I’d be in the same boat (which by [...]
I’m sure no one will be shocked by my choice:
Saddling a pretty, furry, chestnut gelding named Gump! #
First run down! Gump worked really good. Just need to hustle more to barrel #1 #
Race #1 is over. No check but we made a smooth run. Pretty pleased with him for it being our first run since September. #
Gatting ready to make run #2 #
My student [...]
I have said this before but in case you missed it, I’m saying it again. I love the Thumb-print cookies at Swirl Bakery. I could quite easily be addicted to them, no doubt. And that’s not all I love from that bakery. They make the best, most yummiest, freshest and awesome-est, Tomato Basil Soup. It [...]
I have been writing a lot of music lately- I guess it’s my new Taylor Guitar- or maybe the fact that it’s been raining and/or so ridiculously wet that I need to borrow Noah’s Ark to get around! I mean, I understand the need for rain, I really do, but seriously couldn’t it pace itself?
So [...]
As usual, Jen has outdone herself and come up with yet another wonderful topic for the Spin Cycle. I have to tell you, this one really got me fired up. Ok. Well that might be a bit of an exaggeration. But regardless it’s a great topic.
Not to offend anyone that may stop by to read [...]
Quatro!
This adorable miniature donkey has been keeping my old horse, Zero, company during the months that I am not in Texas. Since horses are herd animals and are very social they don’t really like to be by themselves. Quatro and Zero are best buds!
Hey there, little buddy!
You’re not my buddy! Henceforth, I shall sniff the [...]
I’d like to introduce you to the exotic girl on the block. Penny Peacock is the strange little visitor to our place. She roams the neighborhood, hangs with the chickens across the gravel road, and she comes and hangs out with the horses. Isn’t she is a pretty thing?
Here’s to you Penny! May you live [...]
This is the second part in our series about the horse industry, so if you missed the introduction or part one, you might want to read those first. I also want to take this moment to make the distinction between “animal rights” and “animal welfare”. I am, as I said earlier this week, pro-animal welfare. [...]
