Someone commented on one of my posts and then blocked me so I couldnât respond - I guess they donât like a healthy debate. I however, love an educational post.
So whilst Iâm drinking my morning coffee I thought I would share some facts with you.
Firstly wild horses typically have a life span of 15 years - domesticated horses 25-30 years. Domesticated horses are typically gelded from a young age - did you know their tackle is drastically smaller than that of a stallion or a gelding cut much later in life - how do I know this? Because as one of my clients so beautifully put it recently, âyou must hold the world record for touching the most horse p***sâ - donât worry I am not going to enter the Guinness book of world records with that one đ but after a decade of doing this you do see a lotâŠ!
Did you know that if you want to keep your Freisian jet black, then you canât geld them, if you do they will get a slight bay undertone to their coat. (At least this is what I have been told by professionals in the field of funeral homes - film industry etc)
Not horse related but in the far north they castrate reindeer to make them easier to farm, once they do this the reindeer can no longer shed their antlers naturally, they have to be sawn off by hand.
I have 10,000 other points but I must get off to my first client of the day.
Please stop comparing domestic horses to wild horses, they could not be more different and finally, how do you know wild horses donât suffer? As far as I know there isnât a vigilante going out and prodding wild horse willies⊠or is there? Healthy debate and opinion is important, but educating yourself is important too. For the sake of the horses.
