This is all great stuff. The only thing I would add is that a horse is not something that should be bought and then dumped off once its old or say has gone lame. It pains me to hear people say they can't keep a horse(s) anymore cause they are pregnant or getting married... to me that's screwed up just because the horse is inconvenient at that time in your life. A horse should only be given up if you cannot care for it.. it's not a used toy. I believe its a stronger bond with a horse then a dog. Horses being animals of prey take an entire new way of gaining trust and bond and need much more time to do so. It does affect horses when they are switched to new hands sometimes for the better sometimes for the worse.
