That indeed was agood read.
I shutter at times at what all these horses go thru in those stables such as you mentioned.When all the horse wants is to be a horse.
Locally we have the United States Air Force Academy that has a stable on the south end that military folks can keep thier horses on.Up until a few years ago,anyone could trailer in and ride on the Acadamy. Since terrorist threat, you now have to have a military ID to get on and that cuts any civilians out.
They have a string of horses that people can rent for trail rides and they are not too bad, but the boarders get a stall and a paddock.The paddock is about 10 ft by 25 feet.
Most of the time the horses don't get out of there but once a month.Some longer. There are all types of breeds and all are definitely over fed and for sure under worked. When we were able to get on,we got a lot of entertainmnet from thsoe owners when they did finally decide to ride those horses.
