Besides that, horses evolved in North America, and hence arguably have the right to go wherever they want to. Horses were introduced to N. America by the Spanish in the 1500s. Both are true statements. Well it's complicated isn't it. The 'horses' that evolved in 'N. America' evolved in a very different climate -- wasn't so-called N. America down near the equator tens of millions of years ago? And then didn't those horses become extinct in an evolutionary process as time went on and 'N. America' changed? So arguably the timeline of horse development in 'n. america' proves even further that Mother Nature doesnt actually want them here. They are introduced species. That is, unless the early horses were hunted to extinction by early man, then all bets are off. Anyway Vandemort's point is a non-starter. Horses almost never get to 'go wherever they want to go.' I love horses and that would be fine with me, but the reality is they are fenced into pens and parcels then directed along a very narrow path by their riders, thus destroying the surface of that path. |
