Ik, its so cheap in canada. US has inflated horses to an industry that is more about money that a true love of the animals. |

Um I beg to differ on that. At least in the hunter jumper business (Most people) do really love their horses and it's not just for the money. There are of course a few that are all about the money but that's in every business. It's not just the US, Canada does the same thing.

Maddi, I don't want to sound like a you know what, but I also beg to differ. I love and have loved all of my horses, previous and the one present. So has every. Single. Person. That I have ever met who has horses, which is over 200 people- check my Facebook. Nit to mention my grandmother and such. So you see 1,000 people out of 30,000,000,000 people in the USA who only does it for money- that DOESN'T mean all of us do. 1000 people out if what, 30,000 horse riders? I VERY much disagree with your comment.

Ik, but any barn I've ever been to, I've met one person just in it for money, and not for a true love of horses and the sport (The reeds, Jackson (Ahem, you nearly killed your own horse, jerk  ) and Eliot Wrind, almost everyone from King of the Wind -_-) Maybe its not the same where you live, but where *I* live, most people do it for money. And that pisses the hell off of me. I guess I worderd that wrong--either for money, or their people like Jasmine. |
