amen to that Mary...


Thats why I work ....I can pay for my own horses and don't have to ask for 
anything for them.

Hi AW in Fort Worth... I live North of Fort Worth. Justin area....
I think your hubby needs to come with you to an endurance ride and" See for 
himself" how we take care of our horses... the Bluebonnet ride would be 
great for that.... I have seen CeCe Butler...massage a horse for the entire 
vetstop... we train them carefully and we educate ourselfs on feeding and 
legging up our horses... I bet you spend a lot of time riding and taking 
care of your horse.
So how can he say you are abusing it ???
I am also a heavy weight rider and my arab is 14.3 .... He never showed 
signs of beeing "Abused " ...lame or in pain.

Diana :-)
