I wanna know how one makes horses out of glue........LOL! All kidding aside, they get sold, per pound, in their weight,for a certain price per pound, and it ends up on someone's dinner table or in a can of dog food. Usually this is done to debilitated or very old horses. My brother used to tease me a lot, and once I put corn flakes in his bedsheets, and another time, short-sheeted his bed. They are a trying thing those brothers.....but if something happened to you, he'd be there to protect you I'm sure. God bless.

Sending horses for glue isn't always a bad thing... what if someone has a dangerous horse... one that has been know to bite or kick? some horses just are ones that are worth keeping and personally i have owned a horse like that.. horse can be very dangerour esspeacilly if the try to hurt you.. If a horse will perposely hurt a human then they are not even worth the price you would pay for the bullet and then digging a hole... It is much easier much cheaper to call someone to come pick up your horse for dog me and you can make 800-900 hunderd off from them!!

I do not agree with you one bit Cassie, I am sorry to hear this sort of reply. Horses are not usually born 'dangerous', something happened to them to make them this way, big hint: a human being. Either way does this justify them going to die by slaughter? What about putting it down at home? Have you ever been to a horse slaughter, I strongly suggest that you look it up on the internet if not. I am no way supporting that a horse should not be put down if it is an endangerment to a human, I am just a supporter of how it should be conducted. I am in no way an animal activist, but I know all to well about horse slaughter, and lived in ignorance for a long time that it was the 'humane' way to go.

I wish everyone would educate themselves to what horses go to slaugher and how they are killed. Yes horses hooves are used in the production of glue, the meat is sold overseas where there are many counties that sell horse and colt meat as common as we eat beef. I lived in Texas for 20 years where there are several Slaughter houses and the people that went from sell to sell to buy horses where called the killers!!! they watched the sells and found hurt, old or horses that where unsafe, they keep up with the per pound price of horses and hauled trailer loads to the slaughter house. I have trained horses for years and know the importance of well behaved, safe, ridable horses that are a pleasure to have. I have given clinics on how to start a colt from birth. I also use to take horses with behavior problems and fix them for the owners. I always told the owners that the behavior started with the owner and that after I corrected this behavior they had to come and work with me to change theirself. I have tried for years to help people to understand that the way you handle a horse determines if he will have a useful life or a life condemed to abuse or destaned to go to the killer. Horses with bad,uneducated handlers that do not understand horse behavior are the ones that turn out bad, like children with parents who are to lazy to set boundries and to stick to them. The horse or child will grow up being a burden to socity, Slaughter or jail.

I agree 100%; this is my experience as well. When you take in an animal, especially a horse it is your responsibility to train this animal, regardless of behavior problems. I haven't had a horse yet that didn't have some issue, but on the most part it has been corrected. Or shall I say 'I' corrected the way I was handling the horse. I have both a biter (an off the track TB), and a 17 h Percheron that bucks and spooks. I take an active interest in working with them, and having great sucess with both of them. Some may say, they are dangerous, but I would disagree. Educate yourself on behavior issues, and I think most people will be pleasantly surprised of all the good techniques out there.

I disagree very highly with you, Cassie. My new filly that I got in about a month ago, came from an abusive/neglective home. When I got her in, she would charge people in the field, she'd charge people in her stall, she'd try to bite and kick anybody who came in her little space bubble. I've put countless hours into her, and now anybody can walk up to her. In the field, she'll come right up to you, ears forward looking for treats and pets. In the stall, she may still pin her ears, but people can walk past her, or go in her stall to feed/water/catch her for turnout. Shes put on over 80 lbs, and 90% of the rainrot is gone. A little love can go a long way. She has a huge heart and will try to please me til she drops. She's still learning, but shes changed 110% from the horse I brought home. And, shes a Thoroughbred.
