What is your pet peeve/most disliked stereotype about horse culture?

PH 1 asked:


What can we do to get more people involved in horse sports, and educate the public? It saddens me that especially in America people are losing common horse sense.

My pet peeve/most hated stereotype is that horses are elitist and only the rich can participate.
EDIT: Another pet peeve I have is liability. HOW on earth can we educate and involve more people with the ridiculous liability laws we have? This is what bugs me so much about the loss of horse sense. Horses require common sense, the insurance, contracts, liability laws and litigious culture are NOT helping the industry. We need to make horses MORE accessible to open more doors to ownership, protect green ways not just for horse riders but for EVERYBODY, and protect horse owners so that they CAN feel comfortable having the neighborhood kids come over and learn horsemanship.

And Michelle, what ***** are you smoking? Come spend a week with my pony on the trails and see how “unhappy” he is. I guess the reason he lets me ride him with no bridle or saddle, or plays tag with me is because I beat the crap out of him.
Michelle C. Thanks for telling it like it is. Don’t you just **** it when you beat and starve your ponies and they still greet you with whinnies and hay bellies? :P

Just to clarify for the humourless out there, my pony is well loved and taken care of. Sarcasm = the gap between humour and those who don’t get it.

Does your pet have insurance? If so, what kind of insurance does your pet have?

Virginia asked:


I’m looking into getting insurance for my dog because the office visits, vaccinations, and medication are getting a bit expensive. What kind of pet insurance do you have, how much does it cost, what does it cover and where can I apply for it?

Thank you so much!

What is a good pet for a seven year old who lives in an apartment?

sceptileptic asked:


What would be a good pet for a seven (soon to be eight) year old girl that would be comfortable in an apartment? Something that is caged some of the time and not loud would be great, any suggestions?
