I was happy when I saw that there were more horse posts showing up on BYC (at first). Some how along the way it appears that we sometimes forget what it is like to be new to horses. In both threads started by the OP, she has asked for help and appears to be willing to learn. We all also know that no two horse people think alike and most of us are sure that our way is the only way.
Is there any of us on this thread that hasn't taken what works for us from the huge amount of knowledge that we have learned from others and used it to form how we take care of our own critters? But we pick what works for us....and not use it all. The method and way that new knowledge is presented can either help a new horse owner or totally turn them away. If we truly care about horses.....is turning someone away from a useful source, benefiting the horse? or the owner? Let's help her, instead of tromping all over her. (off my mounting block and headed back out to play in the snow with the horses)
