I think this thread was an innocent idea and wondering what spoiling goes on in barns. Not if you call the vet or not when your horse has an ouchy.


Mine get more personal attention over buying them the next new fad product. Even though I may want them all in my tack stall... I think my horses benefit from a little extra snuggling each day. I like to brush them out each day, and spend time with them on more of a personal level. I think my horses and I are a lot closer then most relationships because I feel like we spend that time gaining love and trust from each other. **Insert overly lovey dovey horse and owner emoticon here**

and yes, they get a professionals opinion when something is going on. I try to make an informed decision if the horse is just being a butt-face or they are hurting or something is wrong.

This!! The weather was so nice today (before the predicted ice and snow gets here tomorrow night---yucky) that we had mane and tail spa sessions this afternoon on all 5. They loved it and helps relax me since its tax season. On second thought I probably should have been at the office??

They all get Soft Rides for long hauls. Some get them even for the shortest of hauls. Now, the ones that get them for short hauls may get them because they have an issue that I feel that they benefit, or in some cases, it's just because I love them. They all get whatever vet, farrier, dental and chiro care that they need. Some may get a massage, or acupuncture that they don't necessarily need, but might enjoy, even though they have no true muscle soreness. As we like to say around here... "They all get what they need and then some get anything that they want!".
