Agreed Peggy,
I COULD talk for hours about those diverse subjects. But I haven't and
neither did anyone on this list. I just find this discussion tasteless
and unkind especially to newcomers.
For a long time I've been biting my tongue here. Trying to use a bit of
humor to defuse this stupid discussion of who did what when, longer and
better.
Breeding is NOT riding.
Riding is a LONG way from being alone in a horrific thunderstorm during
a difficult foaling when one only has a half an hour to get the foal
live on the ground.........which did help me in my first whelping when I
was able without a section to deliver a stuck puppy.
