Never have I ever owned a female equine.

I own my first mare now, and also have pretty much "adopted" a jennet.  She's not officially mine, but I do pretty much everything for her.

Never have I ever put a horse in a straight/tie stall.


I have.  When I was a kid, the barn I rode at kept their school horses in straight/tie stalls.  I HATED them with a passion.  And I mean HATED them.  There is just no way to get a horse out of a tie stall except to walk right up to their ass end and directly in - especially when it is the middle horse of 10 in a row of straight stalls.  And believe me, school horses do not always have the best reputations for sweetness and loving.  Your chances of getting kicked just go through the roof, and the living conditions for the horse . . . *sigh*

Never have I ever ridden in or owned a treeless saddle.
