Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | Emtranch - 2017-03-22 4:46 PM I think these are all great questions. I'm not here to insult anyone and I do think black or white. In any sport, if you aren't your best, you get cut. So how is there issue with what I'm saying? I have not once mentioned someone has to be skinny except for the fact that the ratio be right to make sure the other team mate doesn't live their retirement in pain. Come on people, how are you upset that I think if you are going to play sport that you should be an athlete?
Could you answer my questions? Do you ride are or you a rescue? |

| And like I said from the beginning, I love horses more than almost any human. I'm not peta, but maybe should look into it  I care greatly about horses as I thought everyone on this site did. So I am really baffled on this response. It's a team sport, do your part |

Everyone here cares deeply for their horses and if you took a second to read all of the threads asking for help for our horses you'd understand that.
If it's a "team sport" and "everyone should do their part" but "horses weren't meant to be ridden" and their "backs break down" explain to us all how that works?

Location: KS | Man this post flipped......I honestly thought she was talking about riders who criticize the horse/horses performance and never think about their own performance.
Now we have someone on here talking about how we shouldn't be riding horses period.....talk about a 360.
Just google horses, Wikipedia has a lot of info from the beginning of time to now.
The only place I'm reading how cruel and wrong it is to ride horses, is when we look into PEDA and Vegans.....and they have their own forums. |

And do you care about your horse (yes I know this will **** most off but I don't care, horse were not built to be rode, it kills their back, destroys it, so yes if the weight ratio isn't right and you continue to ride them, then no you don't care about your horse, they will live a miserable older life, scientifically proven as it is if you compete on an out of shape overweight horse)? Hate me all you want, I'm here for the horses 10000% agree
Even though they are beasts of burden, they were not intended to be ridden. Their burden was that they just cared to darn much. Way more than other animals for sure
This is so well said and unfortunately I don't communicate well.
I got your back
Omg, you are too funny |

PETA does not believe in pets, they believe in killing animals rather then have them as pets. The kill rate at PETA shelters is extreme. PETA founder is nuts. |

| Reporter: "So, tell me Buttercup, now that you've been domesticated from living out in the wild, which do you prefer?"
Buttercup: "That Sally is a nice ol' broad. Every morning she brings me carrots, fresh hay and oats. If she'd quit drinking beer, it might be easier to cart her around, but it sure beats the hell out of running for my life from Wolves, Mountain Lions and packs of coyote."
Reporter: "But you were born free...and free you should remain."
Buttercup: "You're an Obama supporter, ain't ya?"
Reporter: "I'm offended."
Buttercup: "Your safe space is over there. Get out of my air conditioned stall." |

| So OP, do you ride or just feed and care for your "athletes" ? It's truly a question... |

Location: Montana | jewishprincess - 2017-03-22 11:21 AM Just for FYI, Horse Science News posted an article about how much weight a horse could carry comfortably. It's being circulated on FB but it basically says a horse should not carry more than 25% of it's own body weight, ideally no more than 20%. And horses with wider loins carried weight better than narrow horses. So there you have it. Science figured out the problem for us, we can all get along now

Location: Arkansas | She said her momma rides so I'm guessing the OP fell far from the maternal tree. . . . I don't mean to be ugly, and no one but no one makes their horses more snowflakey or buttercuppy than me, but I'm truly lost on this one  |

| Welp, kids, I don't like to be the one that says I was right about the OP (First page), but....
Y'all, I was right about the OP.
OP, have a wonderful day! Enroll in PETA! Eat a salad for breakfast! Save the horses on Craigslist! Order your cardboard and sticks for your new signs! Save the whales! Save the nematodes! Dead is better than domesticated!
You know, the average looking-into-PETA person day!
