Okay, hypothetical situation - I take over the care of, oh, let's say four dogs. A friend was going overseas, couldn't take them or find a good home for them, leaves them in my care.
So that's me taking over care, feeding, exercising and any medical needs for four cold, wet, happy noses, right?
Now makes those dogs all St. Bernard dogs.
Right, just a little more space, food - but nothing all that different.
So why oh why does all the change when they actually are SIX HORSES.Suddenly, you are envied, you must be rich, when can I come ride, you are so lucky.
When actually it is three times as much hay, three times as much water, more than three times the fighting and potential for loss of limb (me, not the horses, silly!).
