I am way beyond the term "horse people." My phrase of choice is "crazy horse lady." We've all met a crazy horse lady. It's the same thing as the crazy cat lady who gives you a candied apple(covered in cat fur) in your halloween bag. One such woman went as far as to divorce her husband over a horse. Then, when she couldn't pay the bills(because she kicked the breadwinner) she dragged her horses into poor health through neglect. All the while, she claimed that her horses were fine and pointing the blame elsewhere. When they did take her horses, she had to be put on suicide watch. You would think, with all that love for them, she would want to see them be in a better place.
Crazy Horse Lady...
My other personal favorite is the hay sniffers. They ball it up, shove their cupped hands to their nose and breathe in. It's like you'd see someone do when testing the aromatics of hopps for a batch of beer. Reminds me of a teenage boy sniffing something else... What are they smelling for? Mold, I've been told. I've also been told that the hay has to be palatable for the horse or it won't eat it. Hrmmm... most of these people buy rauchy lifeless hay, and then give their horse a flake or two a day. IF I was that horse, I don't think I'd be worried about the palatability if I was starving. I can't imagine a snoody horse, turning it's nose up to any tiny morsel of nourishment. All the horses I've seen are hogs. They eat like a horse. IF you buy bad hay, give the horse a full bale so he can pick through the good stuff and play with the rest. It's a mess to clean up, but, if you really loved your animal, wouldn't you do something good for it?

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
