Re: [RC] Where were you? Long - brncntry

I've been following this thread and Kathy's obervation
about the vets possibly requesting Bev to leave is not
uncommon.  Animals pick up on our fears and concerns
and this can adversly affect them.  It is possible the
vets just didn't need the horse upset any more than
necessary, and Bev's emotional state could have done
just that.  I hope Paladin makes a full recovery and
would be great to see him out on the trails once
again.

even before I do

To Whom It May Concern:

I don't ride internationally & I've never
experienced a problem with my
endurance horse, Thank God.  I do know that not
everyone can handle being
near your horse, helpless & upset.  It doesn't mean
they don't care.  Having
lost a child & been in a children's hospital for a
fair amount of time, I
can tell you that there are a lot of parents who
can't bear to be in with
their dying child.  It is no one's right to
criticize anyone on whether or
not they are by their horse's side during treatment
or not.  Maybe the vets
asked her to go away so they would have room to work
on her horse, maybe she
was so upset she wasn't helping, who knows?  It is
not our business to
preach when we don't know the facts.  Destructive
criticisms do nothing to
help a situation, they only hurt people's feelings
needlessly.  Constant
negativity from people is designed to hurt, not
help.  Usually I just delete
these posts, but recent threads on Ride Camp have
just pushed my buttons
lately.

I enjoy Ride Camp for the information, but I can't
stand the second guessing
and spite that some people on ride camp spew.  I
wasn't there, I don't know
what happened.  I read a post like that & I'm
thankful the horse is O.K.,
and I'm thankful my horse is O.K.  In addition, I
really don't care if you
ride your horse barefoot, naked, in a turban, with a
monkey perched on your
shoulder while you whistle Dixie.  It's your horse &
your business.

I am extremely sorry for anyone whose horse needs to
be treated and I would
never try to suggest they overrode their horse or
didn't care.

I shoe my horse because he's a big pussy who thinks
a minuscule stone bruise
is a crippling injury.  That is my business.

Oops!  I also use a running martingale & a
kimberwicke since my horse is so
untrained & wild.

In addition, for those who want to report me to the
Horse Welfare Committee,
I don't electrolyte, either.  It gives my horse gas
& the runs. So there.

Kathy Garner
