The Questions you do Ask tell us when to deride the answers you give...todays example?

Today's exhibit A from "Anna:.

s I have a horse on stall rest and he's pretty bored in his stall but when I give him toys he doesn't pay attention to them. I've put in place every slow feed thing I can, but he is overweight so he just doesn't have that much food to savor. And when I give him food-based toys that just contributes to him being fat. Every single toy I've given him has either gone unnoticed, gotten him fat or both, I don't know what to do! He's been cribbing too and I've put stuff on the spots where he cribs so he won't bite them but then he doesn't have anything to do and he hates it. I want him to be happy but he has to be on stall rest for twelve weeks! What can I do to make things more enjoyable for him?-Anna

Based on this question how far would you take any advice this 14 year old offered you?

    Sometimes even the very basics of something can allude one. I honesty see nothing wrong with the girls question, she knows why her horse is fat, and she's looking for toys or things she could use to entertain her horse for the following weeks. Just because she's got a fat horse doesn't mean she's not educated enough to put in her opinion or offer advice. I hate to say it but your the only person on here that has a problem with younger people giving and getting advice. Even an inexperienced person who has never ridden a horse could throw out some helpful tips or advice.

    I seriously do not understand the question. A horse on stall rest is a pain and I would try any new advice from any age owner as long as it was safe. I hang a childs bouncy rider (one of those inflatable balls with a handle) at ear level in my convalescent stalls. The horses nose them around for hours. I got that advice from a twelve year old girl with her horse on stall rest from a sprained tendon.

    Although I agree that some questions would make me doubt someone's experience, this isn't one of them.

    It sounds like she was smart enough to try all of the usual remedies for her problem, so it makes sense that she would ask others. Even the most experienced trainers consult others when they're out of ideas. Sometimes they've tried all the usual things and just need a fresh perspective or maybe an unusual, off the wall idea that worked for someone else. Or maybe she's never deal with a stall bound horse before--that doesn't mean she isn't experienced in other areas.

    There are certain questions I can't answer because I'm not experienced in that particular area. But there are plenty of other questions I can answer. So I'm not going to judge someone's entire equestrian education/ability on their inability in one area.

    My boyfriend breaks horses for a living (he's also a professional bull rider). He specializes in starting the babies and dealing with problem horses. That being said, he'd have no idea how to train a WP horse to lope, teach a hunter to jump correctly, or make a dressage horse to an advanced maneuver. That doesn't mean he's not capable--he's just not qualified in those areas. It's the same reason I wouldn't be able to teach a TWH to carry himself properly for showing gaited classes or teach a rope horse to pull a calf...those aren't disciplines I've ever studied, shown, or had much experience in.

    I see nothing wrong with the question.

    Jeff, as "experienced" as you claim to be, this question is really unnecessary.

    You're the one acting quite immature! Get off your high horse.

    If you don't like a question, simply ignore it and move on. :)
