The horses always managed to create massive levels of mischief at the drop of the hat.

I was 6-7 years old and my chores were feeding 9 horses, I'd be breaking off sheaves of hay to spread, the hairs on my neck started going off, looked behind me at a horse with his head twisted sideways coming in for the horse bite. Every day. <br />You cannot believe how much horseshit 9 horses produce. I've been bucked off, stomped, scraped off on trees, a bunch of attempts to roll on me. I don't like horses. I love motorcycles.

Never had any go postal. Besides fence wire is smooth, some is even basically nylon rope; no cut risk. If a stupid Holstein can figure out what that white line is, so can a horse.<br />As for me, I prefer my horses 300+ at a time.

Seen the troubles with my own eyes.<br /><br />Horses are an emotional animal. Decisions like OW that wire Hurts doesn't always process well, as they thrash around and cut themselves up with the wires.<br /><br />Horse owners are a special breed, they care beyond what is rational and I respect that. Like the Momma that will try to kill a street thug to protect her baby level special.<br /><br />Me, I'll stick with cattle for massive power and solar recharged for the rest post gasoline era.

They can be great animals true, but you have to take care of them every day or you're an asshole. Too few think that through.<br />(Don't get me wrong: 22 years in uniform. I've spent plenty of time in the sticks, just never farmed or kept animals ...doesn't mean I'm blind to what it means though.)<br />Good story!

...I have absolutely no use for them fucking things.<br />I have a similar story, babysitting my Aunt and Uncle's horses and my cousin Katy's horse, Lindy.<br />Lindy was like Charlie, Grade A Asshole, except she was a Bitch. This was twenty five years ago and I can still remember that damn horse's name. That should tell you something.<br />Fucker tried to kill me more than once.<br />I went over there to check on them and feed them one day and Lindy pulled a Charlie, she saw me feeding one of the other horses and wanted what he was having. They were both in their outside pens.<br />That fucking bitch literally DESTROYED that pen.<br />Started kicking her back legs and wood went flying everywhere.<br />She knocked down one whole side of the pen, got out, turned around and started kicking in the pen the other horse was in.<br />It freaked out, I was already freaking out and it destroyed THAT section too. There was splintered wood everywhere.<br />The other horse fled for it's life and I started looking around for a hunk of 2X4 so I could have a very short conversation with the fucking She Devil Lindy.<br />Bitch must have seen the murder in my eyes because she grabbed a quarter bale of Alfalfa in her mouth and high tailed it out into the pasture.<br />Four hours for me to kind of get the shit nailed back together, got the one horse back in the barn and that Fucking Lindy was having none of it.<br />I chased that bitch all over that pasture with that hunk of 2X4 until she had finally had enough fun and trotted right into the barn and into her stall.<br />I think Lindy had a headache the next day after I threw the broken 2X4 pieces into the debris pile with the rest of it.<br />I feel ya Irish, I really, truly, feel ya man.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15695733883033137146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365858055267871677.post-42451956502104049292021-11-20T22:04:26.158-05:002021-11-20T22:04:26.158-05:00There will always be an Alpha - whether it's t...There will always be an Alpha - whether it's two horses or twenty.
