Re: [RC] [RC] Parking out for mounting - Sharon Levasseur - Erick Larson
Beth said: I was
told that parking out creates an enormous strain on the spine and that
knowledgeable TWH breeders are trying to inform the public of the long-term
deleterious effects that are created by this practice.
As I sit here here in
the “mecca” of TWH land just days before “The Celebration”
begins I am pleasantly surprised to hear about a TWH breeder concerned about
the welfare of their breed. My horse, Memphis, a half Arab half TWH used to park
out when I first purchased him as a 3 year old. I didn’t have any
use for that little trick so I have never attempted to duplicate it
again. Now I am glad!
BTW, while trotting by
a major breeding farm today I saw many trailers “parked out”.
Here for the show I’m sure. I just have good laugh every time a
local redneck exclaims how I “override” that there horse. Yet
they never even bother to wonder what that caustic chemical smell coming from
the farrier truck is.
Sure glad I fell into
endurance instead of the show ring.
