Horse people are definitely craziest but HOLY MOTHER OF GOD are fiction writers a close second. Talk about cliques!!

The best thing about horse people is that they tend to put the horse ahead of anyone’s feelings. Therein lies our strength. It doesn’t matter if you’re a top athlete or trainer. If you handle a horse in a cruel manner, you will feel our wrath.

Yeah you’re right, it does belong on Off Topic but I think the OP put it in the CE section because people can get really heated on there. Mods probably like that idea, because the post is still there.
I never thought of it that way.

I’m in Colorado too and I was going to comment the same thing. Horse people, at least around here, show up in a big way for each other. It warms my heart. Trailers posted everywhere to help evacuate, people offering up their private farms to house animals, all the donations.

That’s what I’ve seen here in Colorado as well. When we came close to evacuating due to a fire just over the next ridge (luckily it started snowing and we didn’t have to leave) and I realized it had been ten years since any of my horses had been on a trailer, I had offers to bring a trailer over and see how well they loaded. My friend came over with her slant load, and we tried it. I was pleased to see them just walk right in. My large pony, Salt, seemed mad that we didn’t go anywhere. When he saw the trailer coming in, he was practically jumping up and down and asking “where are we going?” That was a huge comfort to know they would load, and I had a couple of offers of three spots on trailers if we ever had to evacuate. Luckily we did not.
