Do Your Horses Have Vices?
Well..there was that one time that I caught Comet playing cards on Sunday.
Behaviors such as weaving and cribbing are perfectly natural results from forcing horses to live in perfectly unnatural environments. Horses who are never locked up in stables, allowed to live in herds and live off a a forage diet do not develop these emotional problems that are so common in horses who are not given the opportunity to live in the manner that they evolved to do.
Comet was dealing from the bottom of a cold marked deck...
ReplyDeleteHe probably had a Derringer too...just in case..
