Not all horses are treated in a bad way but there are some and it is crule!

That was a great story and it had a very good message also. Good Job,Violet!=) It’s really surprising and sad how some owners can act and treat their horses just for money.

It's unbelievable how cruel and unfair owners can be. People take horses for granted too often, thinking they're born to be pushed around and to rake in loads of money. I'm sure no one will want to live being forced to carry a person around and run laps every day, even getting whipped when you're tired. When horses are ridden, or driven, I think that if they hate their work, it's unjust for them. They are wild animals after all, and what's people to force them against their will? I always love your stories, they always hold a special meaning that touches my heart every time. Once again, an amazing job! You have a talent for engaging readers. Fabulous story Violet!

I mean sometimes they are unpredictable. They can look like they're not having a good time and then end up enjoying it. It takes a while to professionalize your horse savvy and be able to read these amazing creatures proffesiantly. But if a horse is rearing and rolling its eyes at something then well YEAH its scared of it. lol great story though, it gave me a new perspective. ~HF I agree Vi, but its hard to “realisticly” think what a horse is thinking.

We should never make horses try new things too quickly. Set a slow pace so they can get use to it. Try putting yourself in thier hooves and see how you'd like being forced into things that seem overwhelmingly scarey.
