Civility vs anger

Civility-that’s a word that is being tossed about on the social media platforms a lot these days. “We want civility in our group.” “Please be civil-those who are not will be banned.” Etc.  That’s really nice and all that, but who is the judge of what is and what isn’t civil discourse? Is it just the fact that the administrator or managers of the page ‘like’ what you have to say or not? Or is it…

Lies

I can remember when growing up that my parents hammered into me and my sibling that we had to tell the truth. Have to admit that I got my share of paddling for infractions. Children have to try out that thing adults call ‘lying’. After all, adults read us ‘stories’ and tell us that they aren’t really true, right? So what’s the problem?  It’s confusing to a child. 

Then adults tell children (or…

More on Sec'ty Zinke

More on Sec’ty Zinke

The fireworks just don’t seem to stop with this guy now that he’s is squarely in the cross-hairs. I’ve said from the start that he was a rotten apple in a barrel of rotten apples, but my voice was one of many ignored. To put it simply, the Cabinet was staffed with crooks and shysters of all varieties. I knew about the two from Georgia before they even took office (Tom Price and Sonny Perdue).

Are horses capable of emotional attachment?

Are horses capable of emotional attachment?

Now I’ve written previously about how some owners treat their horses like large stuff animals or large puppies and get all in their faces? They’ll get all in the horse’s face and wonder why the horse keeps pulling the head out of their hands. 

Well, duh, you stupid bimbo. Let me walk up to you and just start pulling on and rubbing my hands all over your face, kissing on your lips, and spraying…

Our wild horses and wild areas under major threat

Our wild horses and wild areas under major threat

I’ve made no secret of the fact that I detest Secretary Zinke. I believe that the ONLY thing he has on his agenda is the filling of his bank account and those of his wealthy friends and Donald Trump’s. He’s made that very clear with his actions. 

Now he is finally on the radar for his illegal use of military jets (you know the ones-they’re not the fighters or cargo planes-they’re the spiffy…

How SHOULD We Feed Our Horses?

How SHOULD We Feed Our Horses?

Way back in the Dark Ages when I was readying everything I could get my grubby little hands on-and you can bet I knew EXACTLY where in the libraries the horse books were located-it was all pretty much the same thing. Now I will qualify that-it was in the English language and here in the USA. What the rest of the world was doing, I can’t say. This is my experience…

Locking the Barn Door

Locking the Barn Door

Ever heard the saying “that’s like shutting the barn door after the horse is gone”?

Lots of truth to that one-unfortunately, there’s also a ton of truth to this observation, “Locks are only to slow down good people.” Now THAT one is gospel truth.

People who slap a padlock on a gate or a barn door have the best of intentions-and the lock makers are making money off that. What a lock does is keep…

A Lesson From My Horses

A Lesson From My Horses

My horses have taught me many things over the years-more than I’m willing to admit sometimes. At times the lessons have been painful-such as learning that all that time I spend learning from books in libraries and then using that education was really torturing my horses. (Oh, yeah-got a long, long list of those things. Got a collection of bits, martingales, etc that hang on my living room wall…

Just Stop

Just Stop the Spaying of Wild Mares from Straight from the Horse’s Heart

If you want to stop or slow the propogation of the wild horses-castrate the males. It’s safer, easier, and a lot less expensive for everybody.

Just who got the hare-brained idea that performing spays on mares was a wonderful idea-I haven’t the foggiest idea. Well, sure, a spayed mare is not going to have foals, but that…

“Dinky Zinke” a blog post from elsewhere that I likes

If you have read anything at all of what I have written in the past, you’ll know a few things about me:

I don’t tolerate fools or idiots-and people who desecrate public lands for their own benefit fall into both categories in my estimation.

I don’t tolerate people who ALLOW this to happen-and Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke, former EPA…

Trojan Horses

Beware of Greeks bearing gifts the very old saying goes. It dates all the way back to the old tale of Homer’s story of Troy, the beautiful Helen, Paris, Achilles, and the Trojan Horse. It’s a story of men in love (or lust) for a stunningly beautiful woman who is taken off to the city of Troy. Predictably, a war ensues which back in those days meant a barricaded city with an army inside with…

On Guard!

Everybody tells you to be more careful when you go out shopping during the Holiday season, don’t they? Look under your vehicle. Don’t get into your car if there’s a van parked next to the driver’s door. Check the back floor to see if somebody is hiding back there. Put all your packages in the trunk-don’t leave anything out where people can see that you were out shopping. Get into your car, crank…
