'safe' horse keeping Re: [RC] email from IGNORANT person - Elizabeth Chase

Funny (not) you should say this, Angie, 'cause I have recently adopted a former
eventer from the rescue where I've done a bit of volunteer work.....  that's
exactly the life he had, plus regular administrations of bute and steroids to
prop him up..... after that no longer 'worked', he got dumped.  Caleb is 17.2
1/2 hands, lol, and either likes to just stand around, or it has become a habit
from such close quarters. 

He makes a great counterpoint to my Teke-cross mare, who rolls the play ball
under him (sorta like goal-posts, I guess) then does her little 'dance', then
noses it around to 'shoot' again and again..... (she's 15 hands...)

btw, I read about 'Dan the Mule Man' in your book over dinner at work tonight,
and wound up reading it aloud to share WHY I was laughing aloud and snickering
so much.... love the book, and being a newbie, love the 'introduction'.... your
tales kind of inspire me to jot down the fun we have for future re-telling.... 
I personally think you should start your second book very soon!

It's all relative. I probably couldn't sleep at night if I had to see her
17 hand horse clipped in winter, blanketed, and stuffed in a stall he can
barely turn around in 24/7 to keep him "safe",  just so she can ride him
in endless tiny circles demanding that he control any urge at exuberance.
