Ok so i was thinking about this the other day. My yard manager has a thoroughbred and the slightest little cut and she is all over it. She hates her horse getting dirty and will brush her untill she sparkles. Her horse is always wrapped up in X amount of rugs lah lah you get the point. So most horse owners do worry about their 4 legged other halfs. 'Did i leave him enough hay, is he warm enough'.
So basicly i was comparing this to ourselves. I work on a yard 50 hours+ a week. My hands have a million and one cuts, blisters, yahdy yah, i have random bruises from walking into doors (I'm a bit clumsy) and i couldnt care less. Yet if a horse cuts themself heven forbid call the vet! well not quite but you know! Does anyone else think we goa bit over the top at times looking after our horses? I mean we cut ourself 'so what' they cut thereself 'OMG!' I go out in the cold shiver have a moan about it but deal with it, our horseys are the tinist bit under the reccomended warmth and :O rug them up.
Sorry I dont know if i even made my point there lol but I hope you guys get what i mean! (one to many drinks, tis Friday night )
So yeh let me know what you guys think about this I'm interested If i am the only one who sees a cut and think's, wash it and leave it! (a minor one ofc anything major obv call the vet) Ok now i sound mean im not honest xx
