Yeah I think there are definitely a lot of "conditions" to take into consideration. There are people I know who have horses at super nice, clean, safe-as-possible facilities and yet they're always talking about their horses' newest injury. Others, like you said, who have horses thrown out into junk yards (or look like it) and yet they hardly ever get hurt.

I suppose that's just one of those things...like people who speed constantly and never get caught but others speed once and get picked up.

If you're wrong, admit it.  If you're right...shut up!
