I hope everyones Holiday was wonderful, exciting, and eventful.  I had a wonderful time with my family just doing what families do when they get together.  We exchanged gifts, laughed, had a festive meal, and had a grand time.  I have an equestrian family.  We have horse paintings throughout our homes.  Horses are a big part of our lives. As I have said many times, "An equestrian farm is the best medicine that one can have".  I know this is ture because it works for me. Horses can heal many heart aches and give so much back. While on the holidays, I visited my feed store and came across this book.  I wanted to share this with my readers because the title is absolutely true. While working around horses, it is necessary to try to understand their habits and try to anticipate their reacti... 12/29/2009

How could anyone be so insane to kill horses to butcher.  This is an occurring problem in Miami, Florida. Horse Killings on the Rise in Miami-DadeHorse killings/mutilations are on the rise in Miami-Dade (and Broward) counties.  This is an on-going problem that has spiked in recent months.  Authorities are investigating over a dozen horse killings that have been reported since June 2009 in which the animals appear to have been butchered for their meat.  It is believed that the horse meat is being sold on the black market for $20/lb. and higher.  Buying or selling horse meat is illegal in South Florida.  The illegally butchered animals were given steroids, tranquilizers, and antibiotics on a regular basis so their meat is toxic to people.  Call (305)471-8477  (TIPS), text a tip to 274637 ... 12/20/2009
