There's an idea. Allow people to hunt mustangs for meat. People DID eat horses long before they were ever ridden.

There have been quite a few incidents of horses getting killed by stray bullets during hunting season in Michigan. Opening day of Rifle Season Nov. 15 is almost a bigger holiday than Christmas. Students get the day off school, traffic is bumper to bumper up north, gunshots can be heard all day...

For us northerners, what are your end of the riding/competition plans? I have 2 more comp rides, one near Baldwin, the other near Munising in da U.P. A friend of mine and I may go to Elk Hill if we get a decent weekend. Other than that, I'm just looking forward to giving my mare some time off...

Horses with naturally higher set necks are predisposed to them. Many horses are born with a slight ewe neck but if they are never required to work properly, it will just get worse. Again for light trail riding and pleasure riding, you can ride a horse with a ewe neck. But if you want to show or...

The ideal is for a horse to travel long and low in a relaxed frame with light contact through the rein from the bit to the hand. You want more muscles on the top of the neck (crest under the mane) than at the bottom. Heavily muscling on the underside is called a "ewe neck". Now apart from...

I know the feeling. Again, the one on BYC had to be closed since practical vs. let's-save-the-world-because-I-feel-guilty-after-seeing-Hidalgo-and-Spirit was getting quite vociferous. Again, if you really want to see bleeding heart, check out that link I posted above. People are screaming that...

http://www.animallawcoalition.com/horse-slaughter/article/685 Well, it's legal in Montana now!!! I hated the line at the bottom of the article, "To get in touch with your congressman to revive the sordid practice if horsekilling ... " :sick Comments are entertaining as well.

For endurance riding, we get a lot of out of state horses coming in (IN for Lope Rides, WI for Yoop rides) and they have to send in their piroplasmosis test with Coggins. Also, when transporting horses within MI, you are *supposed* to stop at the welcome center in St. Ignace although not many...

I suppose I could always argue that "Indians" ride elepants too. ;) Aw c'mon, a lot of these people saw "Brother Bear." It came out around the same time as "Spirit." :D

Mine started as a joke. When DH told a friend we were getting chickens, he began calling him the "Michigan Chicken Wrangler." I kept the same handle on here for convenience.

Thank you. I have noticed the tide turning with the economy, more people are in favor of horse slaughter. Someone started a thread like this on the chicken forum and I think it had to be closed :hide BTW, these people who think the whole "mustangs = spirit of the west = American freedom, blah...

I'm personally in favor of bringing back the "neighborhood knacker" or allowing small slaughterhouses to process horses. Sell the meat cheaply for dog food or bear bait. In the old days, poor people would often buy horsemeat from the knacker and nearly everyone who had a dog bought horsemeat as...

Yum Garlic bread?
