Some of these horses are in great physical/muscular shape, I'd be willing to bet back in the sub-modern days when horses were the only means of transportation the thought would be different. In these modern days things are looked on much differently.

I care for animals as well, but not over a human being.

For the most part Amish take care of their horses, but not all, equally as well as most people care of their cars.

Your second part of your post reiterates your idiocracy.

And my experiences have come from different areas of the country and it seems to be the same everywhere. Can't stand them. I'm not really a fan of any extremely religious group and they're about as extreme as it gets. Most of my experiences have come from having to work with them on construction projects or whatever, they're bullshit.
LJ;774724 wrote:Dude, the Amish DO NOT take good care of their horses. They overwork a bunch of lame underfed skinny horses. A horse being lame isn't just "pain is weakness leaving the body" kind of thing, it is a serious health issue. Horse trainers will not race a horse that is lame. I see more lame horses during a weekend in Amish country than I have in 26 years of showing horses. The few friends I know who are vets in Amish country say that the horses up there are in the worst shape they have ever seen.
Bio-Hazzzzard;774738 wrote:I agree that some are are scum and have no care at all for their horses but to suggest that all Amish horses are treated the same is not a fair statement.
I have 37 years of first hand experience with the Amish, just a bit more time than a weekend trip or second hand info from your vet friends.

I think your opinion of proper care and treatment of horses is skewed due to your experience only being with the Amish. They don't take good care of their horses, and that is a fact.
