[Ag-eq] Introduction from new member

[Zach Mason]

I don't buy the excuse for a second, but have to admit I know nothing about
horses except that in Italy, ground horse is sweeter than beef. I'm
partially sighted,  and showed dairy cattle for ni 12 years. I know there's
a lot you can tell about an animal's stance through non-visual means though.
I recall in 4-H loading a trailer of heifers for a fair. I was the fastest
catcher when it came to slipping halters on the critters, so I was in the
pasture. I also used to be the full-time washer because I wasn't afraid of
water. Most times I did the most thorough job. 

I wish you luck. 

Zac

Apparently with equine massage, much is determined by The ground manners of
the horse and the way in which it stands and also holds its body and head.
Apparently much of this has to be determined through visual means. I do not
agree with this at all. It is just finding someone to work with me who will
be willing to train me. It is great to meet you, and I look forward to
meeting everyone else. :-)
