>>>> especially people who do not know a lot about horses, even some who do, will treat foals almost like a big dog, forgetting that those foals will get a lot bigger and stronger, very fast, and what you could do safely at 2 months old, you can not do at a year old......
How much does a two-month-old foal weigh? 200 pounds, or 300? More? How many people are really THAT dumb? I think newborn foals are probably the MOST dangerous until they are a few weeks old. They are born with totally blank slates, no real awareness of their bodies, but even a newborn foal can injure a human pretty quickly. MAYBE I'd stand a better chance one-on-one in a wrestling match with a newborn, but one misplaced little hoof can easily damage an eye, or inflict a pretty good head injury. If a person is stupid enough to play with a foal like it's the size of our little pug puppy, then maybe that's just natural selection...of the humans. I really believe the intelligence level of this list is a little above that. Karen Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED] No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
