To Bute or not to Bute:

Bute is overprescribed and overused, and unfortunately many horse owners are unaware of the longer term implications of its use.

The way people think

The way people think is divergent from the way horses think, yet here we are, expecting them to change and think the way we do in order to satiate our expectations.

I used to think that there were styles of horsemanship, types, varied by something exogenous - some external variant, a piece of equipment, a type of horse, whatever. Now, I finally understand that horsemanship is horsemanship, there is no such thing as bad horsemanship, such a thing is simply not horsemanship at all.
