[QUOTE="MoGal, post: 409242, member: 1346"] Little Cow: I think its just a lesson in life's experiences. Some folks need to make a big show of what they do (ever seen someone buy a brand new JD riding mower and then wait until the neighbors are coming home from work so they can see em mowing grass??) Others just quietly go about their business taking care of their stock, treating them well because they feel its the right thing to do not because someone can "see" what they do. Animals adapt very well to their environment. If a stalled horse gets used to a fan then they sweat like all get out when its not turned on. I used to show years ago and had to keep em stalled because they were black horses and I didn't want them to get sunburned, couldn't turn the mare out to grass because she had the heavy plantation shoes on and I thought if I didn't go to a horseshow every weekend then that was the end of the world. However, we still drove an old van and a 2 horse bumper pull. We were told several times by different people that we needed to update the rig but that never impressed me. We had a good floor in the horse trailer and it mattered what was IN the trailer not the rig itself. Not all show people are bad, nor are all trail riding people, nor are all cowboy people. Wouldn't matter what some folks have, you're always gonna find someone who thinks they're better than someone else. [/QUOTE]
