Is there any reason to beat a dead horse, except for the pleasure of it?

Yes, you're are tenderizing the meat for grilling.  I thought that was obvious.

It is morally wrong not to enjoy ourselves. What about people who are blind, does that mean I should not want to see, or people who are deaf, does that mean I should not want to hear?\nWhatever it takes to enjoy life and as long as it does not hurt anyone else, it should be done.

Good try, but how about this?\n\nTrained horse needed for ranch work, one who obeys every command.

Horses don't feel lonely if they get humane attention. You need to groom it, take care of it, speak to it every day; it needs to feel loved. Female horses are more loving than male, but they're more fearful and it takes more time to trust you. If you choose a male, prefer a gelding, not a stallion, because stallions are difficult to handle and they escape by any means to find a mare in her season (they can smell her even from 4kms away!) Geldings are easier to handle from both mares and stallions and they're calm, as they're hormones-free. \nQuarter horses are the best for hacking and they're very comfortable to ride. It's a good choice!!

There is no point. It just for the fun of seeing how many points you can accumulate.

If it make you feel any better, I only know English, and I have the same questions as you. I think that I would have to have the whole article to know what the author ment by the statements. I will give it my best shot anyway. If I am wrong on this, I am sorry. Like I said, it is hard to know for sure without reading the article myself.\n\n1) The second rule of horse racing could be mean that the first one didn't work. It could also be that the author expected you to know the rules already.\n\n2)you are right in what that means. Another way of wording it is, "play towards" means to add to or give more.\n\n3) I believe you are right on this as well, it means love and compassion.\n\n\nJust a side note for you, the sentances are not writen very well, and that sometimes makes it harder to understand. Good Luck in learning more! You are doing a good job.

Oozie, you can stay here for several days asking this question. But unfortunately, all of us here will just be postulating different kind of theories on whether to ride him or not. But the problem will still remain unsolved. My advice for you is to take the bull by the horns, ride him and let's see how he reacts to your ride. That's a pragmatic approach. And if you're not riding well, you'll have to put in more creativity to it. I believe in practice cos practice preceeds theory. Contact me through my profile for further discussions. cya soonest.

Working in the industry, I can honestly say that at times there is cruelty. I won;t go into it, but there are things that I don't agree with at times. But if you are wanting to know about the highest levels, like the Triple Crown trail and Breeder's Cup races, then cruelty rarely occurs. the horses that are running these races are pampered. Yes they are whipped but it really does not hurt them. It's more a little sting than anything. As far as a three year old not being mature enough to run and carry a rider, well Thoroughbreds mature faster than most breeds. Running is what they are bred to do. They love it. And yes a horse knows when he has won a race and when he has been bested. That's why when they are running you'll sometimes see a horse reach out and nip at another horse running next to him or why a horse will pull up next to front runner and stay there for a bit before running on by. He's looking him in the eye, challenging him to a duel of sorts. Thoroughbreds love to run, it's how they get their kicks.

If you are going to go to all the trouble and expense of training a horse, why would you even consider starting with a "bad" horse?

Gosh, I have done both.  I love a nice exhilarating horse ride.  OMGosh, I like so have a story for this (As if you didn't suspect).  One time I was on a horse (Her name was Goldie) and she was getting up there in years and didn't like to be rid when she didn't want to be rid.  Well, one time I got her all saddled up with a great deal of trouble.  That should have been my first clue.  She kept bloating out her stomach so the saddle wouldn't stay on.  Any ways, finally got her saddled and I saddle up.  I turned to talk with my friend that was on his horse and she (Goldie) took off towards the barn in a full gallop.  As she turned the corner to enter her stall, she slid on the mud - it had just rained, I loved to go out in the spring after a rain - and her legs came out from under her and splat she went down on her side.  I of course being 11 was nearly buried in the muck with this horse on top of me.  Well, she righted herself and walked into her stall and I lay there stinking to the high heavens covered in mud.  I never rode her again when she bloated her stomach out.  \n\nI have ridden a Harley before too.  Actually I owned a sportster version.  I loved to take it out on hot days to cool off.  So, would I rather do one or the other?  If the horses stomach is bloated, jump on the Harley.  If not, then take the horse.

No. It's beating a dead horse.  You know what the truth is.
