I judged a horse show over the weekend and took a few pictures after the event. On Saturday afternoon, friends and I ran over to Mexico to pick up a few drugs before I headed home. It was hot as hell, but fun.

This horse had an interesting story. He is now owned by the young lady riding him, but his back story is that her grandmother (an old friend of mine) rescued him off a slaughter truck headed to the Mexican processing plant. He was thin as hell, scared, and headed for a cruel end (research the kill process in Mexico if you are interested- horrible) when she bought him off the truck. He's a sweetheart and though hot, takes care of the grand daughter, no matter what.

I agree. But unfortunately here in the U.S., there are people who don't research pedigrees, etc. and will breed to a horse b/c it's a pretty color vs. correct confirmation and future use. Seven -Up is one of the lucky ones; sadly, my friend couldn't afford to purchase the entire trailer load.
The fate of dogs in some Asian countries is equally horrendous, but I think the U.S. also has a terrible stray animal problem that needs to be addressed too.

Too many people are allowed to have animals that they don't deserve. As a result, they treat them like objects instead of animals who have become imprinted on humans. We created that imprinting and too many don't understand that it is a mutual bond. We have drifted too far from nature and have forgotten who we are.

Great pics all around! I didn't have the guts to google Mexican horse slaughtering though. I don't need that kind of rage in me today.
