"I only get that much love when I carry a bucket of feed or when they are in the mood to be amused ... the respect, only when I have a whip in my hand. " Meredith. This last part that you included about yourself. Why do you have horses? It doesn't sound as if you like your horses. I'm sad for you, if this is how you feel about your horses. But mostly I'm sad for your horses. I hope that you can get with some of your friends and do something positive with your horses to make them happy horses and to make you feel better about having them. Please do put the whip down. I don't believe the whip was meant as a means to "threaten", but an extension of ones leg and an extension of ones arm. I'm afraid the term "whip" is missunderstood. I never carry a bucket of grain, nor hand treats, but I have lots of hugs and rubs to give and that can do wonders for the ponys and for yourself. Take time for them, with them.
