What Happened To Safety First???

I was checking out one of the other sites. After being referred to it by an email from a concerned party.
So, you have a bunch of horses. And you invite a class of school kids out to see them. And you allow them to go into paddocks and pens with multiple horses and no halters to groom.
Brilliant...
I am sure it made a nice photo opportunity. And we all know how important THAT is to some.
But seriously, what in the blazes were you thinking?
No helmets. Kids with loose horses. And someone with a camera.
I do not care if the horses in question were old enough to have pulled a cart across the desert with Moses in it.
Really not cool!
I am so tired of the complete disregard for safety. There is a reason why most barns that have horses post an "Inherent Risk" sign disclaiming liabilty for injuries.
Animals have minds of their own. Things CAN and often DO happen.
In this case, not having a mishap, was more due to luck than, any type of precautionary method.
This place states on their site that they are still learning as they go.
I hope they learn not to take chances with other peoples children in the very near future!!!
