Survey done! I really hope everyone vaccinates their horses - it's such an easy step to prevent a really awful death.

I never thought about the similarities between the two before. I too am married to a lobsterman. When I moved east from Michigan my dad told me that wasn't horse country. Maybe that is why moving east and going without a horse for 10 years made sense?? My husband now tells everyone he is a lobsterman and a rancher.

So true! My husband is a lobsterman and he is extremely athletic, business smart, talented, tough, and a wonderful dad and husband. He's definitely my idea of a "cowboy." I love to ride with him, when he has the time and inclination...wish we rode together more. I can always hope that when fishing winds down for him, riding horses together might happen more often :)

Article: Ingraham arrested for criminal animal cruelty

It is a known fact that those who abuse animals will also abuse children. While I would not care to see Alexis in jail at this critical time during her pregnancy I do have to wonder if the child will be safe since we all know the history of this young lady. I'm hoping that's not the case but you just never know. Hope someone keeps their eyes on that. I am thrilled with the fact that she has at least been charged and that possibly some justice will come for the animals that suffered unnecessarily at her hands.

Some of these people are so blood thirsty and horse obsessed it makes you question their sanity,to put a horse above a newborn childs welfare and wanting it thrown into foster care is sick,
