Thanks Cher and thanks Carole for the petitions...signed the Tiger ones, but going to get back to catch there and other horse petitions hopefully.

Sadly, this is the ride for all of these "lovers" and who ends up paying for it the horse. Pulling people around on Hot days, COLD days, no rest etc....

Gets me just way to upset at this, pay the stupid people not to take you for a ride and let the horse have a apple in the shade!!!!

Some rest and Water!
