nihil, You almost made my point. You wanted to argue about the intensity of the heat, IMO but, thought better of it. I don't train horses at all. Except for rodeos, the bronco busting days are, virtually, over. The practice was used at one time because, the horses needed for ranchers, and the military, were newly captured wild horses who had not seen a human before, and could not figure out why such a puny animal without fangs, or claws, was trying to mess with him. He was used to kicking, and biting, to protect himself from predatory animals intent on killing and eating him. Naturally, he was not going to take any guff from a mere human being, and to become useful, he had to learn who was going to be the boss. Some people may disagree with this, but they were not faced with the prospect of walking through rough, and often hostile, territory. The horses of today, have been born, raised, and helped along to adulthood with humans ever present. They are not nearly so cantankerous. That does not excuse the cruelty described by Ish in training the Tennessee walkers. ~H~
