Re: [RC] [RC] [RC] natural horse wormers? - Diana Peterson

There is a book from JamieJackson...Paddock paradise Guide to natural horse boarding.

I believe this is as natural as we can make it... considering beeing a riding horse and having to carry me around whenever i want. :-) lol





Riding a horse is not a gentle hobby, to be picked up and laid down like a game of solitaire.
It is a grand passion.
It seizes a person whole and, once it has done so, he will have to accept that his life will be radically changed. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

     What do you (the collective you) consider a horse's "natural
environment"?  I know that I have always tended (without really
putting much thought into it) to consider the Western states as their
natural environment.  However, if I remember what I was taught in
primary school (back in the days of chalk and slate), the horses that
currently inhabit the western states are really ferral horses, and
are not native to that area.  So, Are there any truly "wild" horses
left in the world, and what is their natural environment?  Can the
ferral horses (or any long term domesticated animal like cats and
dogs) ever really be considered "wild/natural" after thousands of
years of domestication?
