identified himself as a yearold farmer I do wish he had enclosed his name and address so that I could hove answered him Anyway here is part of the letter Question I think it is awful the way the poor horses are mistreated nowadays making them jump high hurdles In the post few years I have seen a horse get its leg broken and have also seen a girl getting killed Jumping the high hurdles If they would use common sense this would not have happened Horses were meant to do something constructive like ploughing and working the land to produce food to feed people I ploughed with a team of horses for about years and walked as much as miles a day following a plough I thought I was accomplishing something while doing this Horses were necessary and useful to do farm work back a tew years ago before tractors took their place Horses went out with the buggies Answer I disagree Horses are not mistreated by making them jump To start with you don get very far by making a horse Jump The good jumnpers are those horses who like to jump Yes accidents can happen but they can happen anywhere doing anything Common sense is the key as you have stated Who decreed that horses were meant to do something con Left to their own devices horses run around and eat grass They plough fields by themselves for the fun of and I knew I roll my car I was very lucky He missed me by about three feet ex plained Two trucks from Dew Drop- Inn were called to the scene to remove the truck from the ditch As the gravel truck was put upright once again the tow truck hoisting it was knocked over causing a further delay in the opening of the road Angry motorists and truck drivers were backed up for at least a mile on the north and almost as far to tho south Others were diverted to other routes Continued

Lakeview Centre Si ACTON Humans make slaves out of horses and demand work in return for core and food the horse has no choice in this When horses were used for farm work they worked long hours six days a week Some were mistreated and some were not However most horses en joyed their lives because they are naturally optimistic creatures and are happy their bodies are content If a horse is well treated he will work willingly whatever the job With the advent of mechanized farming horses were doomed to be used for except that they filled a recreational gap Nowadays many horses live the life of Riley being cared for n return for a very few hours of pleasure riding a week They enjoy their lives just as much and are still doing something just as constructive bringing a great deal of delight to their owners The horses you sec in the show ring jumping arc usually doing they love to do Thank you for giving me the opportunity to disagree Last week we talked about the donkey and her visit to Don
