Oh my god, and horses are some fartin' animals. And I swear they save
them up for when you're squatting down picking out their back hooves.
And anybody who tells you herbivore farts don't stink has never been
subjected to a blast at close range.

I used to think horses were noble beasts. I was totally disillusioned
when my daughter got her first horse. They are physically delicate,
prone to all sorts of illnesses and injuries. They are fearful (ok,
they're a prey animal, it's a survival thing), and they make the
stupidest housecat look like a rocket scientist. Both females and males
require assistance with, erm, personal hygiene, and mares, especially,
are just plain gross, with an extremely messy estrus cycle every three
weeks in the summer, maybe every 4 or 5 weeks in the cold months. And
let me tell you, a thousand pounds of stupid with raging PMS is no fun
whatsoever.
