We used to use common sense and had a use for them. It worked out nicely. Now, we need an Act of Congress to think for us. This really wasn’t meant to be a divisive post — just an interesting one. Not EVERYTHING is politically driven, sometimes it’s just nice to remember how we were. I really didn’t mean to go to what we’ve devolved to.

BTW, we had a wild horse and donkey sale in my neighborhood a couple of months ago. There were very few animals available (perhaps 10), and you had to pass strict requirements to bid on one. I live in what is known around here as “horse country”, but I notice that fewer and fewer of my neighbors keep horses any more. Too many people have subdivided their land and cut off the riding trails that used to network across property lines by gentlemens’ agreement.

I have 2 rescued horses. One is a retired race horse. I don't even want to get into what I think about track horses & how their owners toss them away. The other is a Palomino I got out of a kill pen. Both have made our lives better. Both were abused & in poor shape when we got them. I was at the horse auction last night. Today the people I am involved with are working hard to save the horses in the kill pen. So far a few have been saved. Sadly most rescues are full.
