Oh oh, I've discovered several stupid grammar mistakes, but it's obvious, I've written this post rather hastily.

forg...ah, a horse fly!<br />yep--we've got those :)<br /><br />forgot to say how very cool this place you went to eat sounded-awesome that you could ride horses up and leave them to graze while you had lunch<br /><br />we too are under a heat wave...is that time of year i suppose<br /><br />ah...you found the story...yes--it was bad...still a couple kids in bad shape<br />i feel sick for the man who lost his wife, owns the horses and has this horror in his life<br /><br />i think many people are scared of horses--they are very powerful animals <br /><br />it's too bad you and your husband do not have the same thoughts on animals...but maybe good in a way...my husband and i have the same thoughts and we have dogs coming out of our ears, loltbsomedayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14758959056289514895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8848829300515114319.post-73290110372799634692010-07-15T00:15:19.371-07:002010-07-15T00:15:19.371-07:00Hi Jen, Michelle and Tabitha! Probably no one will...Hi Jen, Michelle and Tabitha! Probably no one will ever know by what an insect the horse was bitten but I assumed it was bitten by a “stitch-fly” because those flies are attracted by horses. After I had published the post yesterday I suddenly remembered that we also call it a: Paardenvlieg. Literally translated that means a Horse-fly. Meanwhile I looked it up on Wikipedia and there I've found this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horsefly. <br />I told you yesterday that we “both” went back to our car, but actually that's not how it went, NO. While I ran towards the woman to tell her what had happened with her horse and that it maybe could have been injured by the fall into the ditch (they were not yet there when it happened) my husband went by himself back to our car. Totally shocked and with tears I my eyes I arrived there approx. ten minutes later and my husband stood there waiting for me very cool. He couldn't understand that I was so upset, he actually found that what happened was not our business. “It were those people's problems – not ours” he said. Actually I can't comprehend this. This seems to me as if "trying to be helpful is almost a shame". Imagine that all people would react that way! Actually – he never had the same feelings towards animals as I have. If I had not insisted so violently than we never would have kept Pipke. And yes, eventually he also loved Pipke, but not the way I did! His love was more superficial. Maybe – it's because he's a man and an average male has less empathy than a woman. Actually this is a very interesting subject for a post in the future. I will come back on this topic later.<br /> Although I follow the news frequently, I had not heard about the freak run away Tabitha but I Googled around it and I discovered this: http://www.kcrg.com/news/local/97767114.html It happened in BELLEVUE, Iowa. I've seen the video and it's really shocking to watch. Actually one must be so very cautious with such large animals in your surroundings, they have so much power. I'm actually a little afraid of horses, I'm only at ease when they stand behind a fence. How sad for the horse and the people.
