Purple Pony

The Purple Pony Promise
MMMmmmm... MMMmm... MMmmm..

If they could only hear what I am thinking!! Mind you, then they would either run in fear or hang their heads in shame!

MMmmm...mmmm... MMMMM!!!

Oh Dagnabit!! Proud of yourself, you human you. Just you wait. Think I won't remember this. Think I won't get back at you for this!?

MMmmm... uhMmmmmmm!

They still can't hear me. I guess I don't count as being allowed to have a voice. If this isn't the strongest way to say

Shut UP! I don't know what is. SHUT UP! I get it!! You don't want me to be able to say ANYTHING!!!

So if they did this to a human I wonder what they would call it? Slavery, torture, or worse.

Shut up and take it. Who came up with that idea???!!

Don't they realize that when they tie up a horse's mouth it is the same as taping your mouth shut AND tying your hands together. Our mouth is not only our voice, it is how we pick things up, our mouth is our voice and our hands!

mmmmm...

But I guess they really don't care what we think, or for that matter what we feel. Who cares if it hurts?

Who cares if I am sore, who cares if I don't understand? I know I'm sounding pretty sorry for myself.




Why ride a horse if you don't care if I have feelings? Grab a motorbike instead.

You know, the older horses tell me about a time when there was this thing they called the two finger rule. Where everyone, and I mean everyone, made sure that they could easily slip two fingers beneath the cavesson. What happened? Did somebody forget to write it down?

I know you humans have a flawed memory, not like us horses. Not sure what this incredible memory is for, if I keep letting you climb back on my back.

My buddies have been sending me videos and pictures of the kind of thing they have been going through. Ugh! It is so ugly.

Ugly as in unbeautiful, ugly as in how mean and wrong.

Here is a trick question What famous German Warmblood stallion was found to have a broken nose after he died? Not only broken but literally shattered. Crushed. I guess that is why they call it a crank noseband. The dang crank noseband literally cranking so strong that they broke it!! Bet they kept doing it and didn't even know. I wonder how many other horses this has happened to and nobody knows.



MMMmmmm... MMMmmm.. .MMMM!!!!! Arghhh!!! They simply can't hear me!!!

Have you ever seen how the blood vessels go over the nose and through the poll area!! This is what you are cranking on.

All of us horses have decided to stand together and demand our rights!!! We demand the FEI put down in writing the two finger rule. And for those who scream and yell and fight our demands that they cannot ride without tying our mouths shut, we suggest you try training us instead. Either that or you see how you like being treated like this.

We ask all of our horse friends to send us their pictures, and their video of mouths tied shut and I, the Purple Pony, Promise I will keep yelling and showing your pictures until someone listens.

Can you help us?
