Guest guest Posted February 22, 2001 Report Share Posted February 22, 2001 Hi Joana, Sorry, I should of explained. At first I did believe it was okay to ride horses, people keep saying that is what they are designed for ??????? I am totally against owning pets, but I am also aware that there are a lot of neglected animals out there who need loving homes. I just think it is not a great lifestyle for them, being strapped up with a saddle and bridle (usually made of leather). It can't really been enjoyable for the horse, having a bit between the teeth for control and blinkers so their vision is diminished. I live in an area where there are a lot of horses, and they never seem happy, no frolicking around, they just stand by the fence looking totally cold and depressed!!! That is only my opinion, I believe in total freedom for all animals, but in the present world that is impossible. Animals have been conditioned to be subservient to us humans, so I can understand why you would still ride. It's just not for me ) I hope this gives you a better understanding. I hope I never came across too abrupt, it was not my intention. Take care --> Karen <-- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
