I got about half way through the clip and didn't see any miniature cowboys, so I gave up.

Why is she keeping them in with sheep? For shit's sake, does she not know you don't keep horses in with sheep? ANTHRAX you stupid woman.

geeze...should i try to send an email to her via the Times? you would think if she has an investment and a vet, she would know.

I want to see monkeys dressed up as jockey's riding them NOW!

I don't know. All I know is that when I kept horses it was a no no to keep them with sheep. Sheep carry animal anthrax and if the virus becomes active, that shit can live in the soil for years destroying a farmer's life.
It's been 10 years since I had my own horses, maybe they developed a vaccine for it by now? I don't know but I do know i have several veterinary manuals and encyclopedias that say no sheep with horses. No horses with cows too.

We used to live across from a couple that had about 11 or 12 miniature horses. Their daughter was disabled and they would bring her out in the pasture in her wheel chair to see them. They were so cute and would come up to the fence and let us pet them.

Horses are pretty much useless, so little horses would be only half as useless I suppose.
RE: miniature horses - Twitchin Kitten - 03-11-2010
Horses are NOT useless. Blasphemy you sick man! Blasphemy!
I worked volunteer with my friend's handicapped riding program for years with the UCP (united cerebral palsy) and those kids benefited greatly from horses! To get out of that chair, get your muscles stretched and be on something that actually makes you feel like you're walking brought a lot of smiles to a lot of children's faces.
I've worked with kids without hands, deformed limbs etc and mental disabilities as well. The benefits of equine therapy are too numerous to list now but sorry, horses are not useless.
If I can afford to keep horses again I would. I benefited greatly from the exercise and my disability from injury was lessened due to the strengthening of muscle to support bone.

I get your point TK.
I guess they are about like a dog or a cat, I mean who really needs them? But we all have them.
I've always looked at them kinda like cows, big, eat a lot, cost a lot to keep, but they don't make milk to sell and it is frowned upon if you eat one of them.
