When you bring a pet to a shelter because you're sick of him abusing you...
Or preventing you from going on holiday... don't try to speak it well for yourself then. He's just sitting there waiting. He’s waiting for you to come get him and bring him home. He's been waiting for seconds, minutes, hours, days, years... 🥹
He doesn't know why you're not coming back, but he's waiting for you because he trusts you 💔 Because unlike you, he loves you forever...

Taking a pet is no joke! Think twice before adopting one... ❤️

Would you sacrifice your lifestyle for keeping a dog? (I'm hoping to get at least 100 YES in the comments).

Here is something to think about when assessing your horses feet and their problems

Susceptibility to Hoof Infections
Some horses seem more prone to thrush, white line disease, or hoof abscesses than others, possibly due to genetics or conformation. Some individuals have stronger hoof walls and thicker soles, while others have weaker, thinner structures. Some breeds tend to have tougher, more robust feet overall.

“If horses have conformational faults that cause them to overload a portion of the foot, there is more stress on those parts (and more likelihood for separations), and the hoof is also more likely to deform if it is soft,” says Lydia Mudd, DVM, a certified farrier through the AFA and an equine veterinarian at Janssen Veterinary Clinic, in Sheridan, Indiana. “This may allow microbes access, especially if there is already an overloaded or weakened spot in that hoof.”

Health status also plays a role. “Are the horses on an appropriate diet? Do they have any other health issues like PPID (pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction) or metabolic disease? Are they battling any systemic illness? Overall health can have a huge effect on hoof wall quality,” she says. “Also, is there any history of other hoof diseases that might change how the hoof wall grows? Laminitis, for instance, can compromise long-term hoof integrity, as can injury to the coronary band that causes abnormal hoof growth.”

Hoof structure is like building structure. “If the outside of your house is solid and has never had a problem, it will be more resistant to water damage, earthquakes, or other forces,” Mudd explains. “But if a tree fell on it last year and the damage was never fully repaired, it may not withstand further problems.

“You can’t always tell whether a certain horse’s feet will have problems,” she continues. “And some owners just want a magic supplement or topical medication that will fix a problem when the most important thing is trying to fix the environment, if possible—along with putting in the daily time and effort to keep the feet clean.”

Patience.

The problem with horse training is that society is set up to believe that you can buy a service and have things the way you want in a certain time frame. People look at horse training as if they're spending their money on a product. And yet even the best horse trainers will tell you the horse takes its own time, and no one can guarantee a horse will be doing what you want from it when you want from it. The other problem is that even if your trainer can get t done with your horse, it doesn't necessarily mean that you will be able to. Getting a horse right takes an amount of commitment on the owners part to develop the same type of relationship that the trainer has, otherwise how can you expect from your horse for yourself what your trainer gets, when it's they who have put in the hours, th and sweat, the patience and the desire to get Along with that horse? You aren't spending money on a tune up for your car that you can take home and drive.
The fact that money is involved leads people to believe they deserve something for what they paid, and they do, but, it happens in the animals time, not the humans. I think any good trainer would say they would do this for free if they could, just to help horses and people. And yet, we all have to eat.

It’s easy to want to jump to the end picture. But for every impatient leap, comes a humbling return to the start.
