Pet Peeves about the horse world.?
I lived on a working ranch growing up. We didn't have trainers unless you wanted to call the old wrinkled up cowboys one. You learned to ride and learned from your mistakes. I was like a sponge I soaked up as much as I could as a child. Now days I have my horses and they are just for pleasure. But I have seen some nasty things happen. I went on the annual 100 mile trail ride for years until one of these so called cowboys was running his beautiful pure black QH at night thru the camp. Now when I say camp I am talking about 200 to 300 horses tied out in a 10 acre camp ground. Well anyways this guy was just gettin it thru there and everyone was hollerin, he made it about 25 feet past our camp and slammed into a gooseneck. It thru him off and the horse went down. The horse died about 10 minutes later with his chest torn open and gasping for breath. The man was sent to the hospital. To this day I only go there for a day ride with just my family and friends. I wont go back for those until some rules are put down.
