We own a miniature horse. From time to time, just like any other animal we have to call the vet and have them come out and take a look. Last week the vet came out and told us what was going on and gave us some medicine to put on the horse’s hooves. Every night since then my wife and I go out to the barn and I hold the horse by the rope and put the medicine on a sponge brush while she cleans the hooves and then reaches up waiting for me to hand her the brush so she can apply it. While I was waiting the other night I started reading the label of the medicine when I noticed one warning. “Do not use on horses intended for food”! Intended for food? I know that there are things that I eat that I am not reading the label or even restaurants in which I have questioned the meat in the dish, however I might have missed something but I don’t remember horse being on the menu. I think I need to read my chef Boyardee can label a little closer and maybe even skip the mystery can of chili. I am not always a fan of ignorance but in this case I think when it comes to what is in my food I just don’t want to know. After reading that warning to my wife I looked at the horse and reminder her just how lucky she is to be a pet.
