Fugly Horse, Smooth Character

Maybe you haven't seen or read Revolutionary Road. Maybe it looks like your job will make it all the way through this recession. Maybe, you're not depressed enough.

Then look here!

The purpose of this blog is to expose people who mistreat horses. She is most effective when she attacks horse breeders, the ones who keep making more and more horses, chasing after a pedigree or a perfect confirmation, and in so doing, leave more and more living creatures chained up in dark stalls. If being cared for means...being fed twice a day and not beaten, then sure, they're being cared for.

If you're not depressed enough, try to think about all the idle, lonely animals, chained in dark stables. Think about how some of them haven't seen the light of day in over 10 years.

(The horse in the picture is our Fugly Horse, Smooth Character, who, after having not left his 16x16 stall in 10 years, summoned the courage to ride in a trailer with me and my brother. He's dead now, though arguably much better off than he was. And he frolicked retardedly around our pasture for a month or so before he died of a hideously broken leg...which he did himself, accidentally, because he was so pitifully retarded.)
