The wife's rental horse has been having trouble with the heat (it's not sweating properly) and one of the fixes is feeding it Guinness. Sounds like nonsense to me. Anyone seen that trick work?

I think she just wants beer... the wife, not the horse.

The barn folk use it here for the same issue. I don't know how or why it works but the vet that boards her horses here recommended it.

google seems to agree.

mostly the wife wanted me to ask @Sneakymedic if he thinks she's crazy, but calling it out in public should be much funnier.

What's a rental horse?

A machine that turns money into poop. Only instead of actually owning this magical device, you just rent/lease it so that when you're done turning all your money into poop you can return it to it's owner.

Exactly. Its like a boat that eats. Both worthless investments.

I have heard of that. Also, Mineral Oil will cure them of a lot of stuff too. They have bad guts. And legs. I don't see how they have survived evolution. And modern day breeding habits don't help matters.

Part two of this two part series is...... why does one rent a horse?

I'm not being critical. I've just never heard of it.

Because the bank won't loan money on them like a car or house? Just guessing here.

You get one that jumps at the level you're at, and then as you get better (or worse) you can swap horses and get one that's more appropriate to your level.

Can you get pulled for riding under the influence? And who gets the sobriety test?

Yes. I have a family member that got a DUI on a horse, tractor(Farm), skid steer and a truck. They were both drunk. The horse was side stepping. Apparently the side walk is inappropriate for any of the above methods of transportation.

For me to get a horse that's at "my level" that SOB would be leaving a trench deep enough to bury a water line. I have a trust level with horses, you don't ride me and I won't ride you.... Deal??

But...what if the rider is sober and the horse is drunk?
 
If your wife is not overly attached to the horse send it down the road. I grew up with the damn things and my dad had a few that had the same problem. He was able to trade/sell them to folks in the ,mountains that foxhunted.
 
just found this post was curious about the progress of the horse
hopefully she stopped working the horse and rented another one if continued to work with anhidrosis either heat stroke or cardiac failure is possible
cause is not certain as well as well as treatment but sometimes its temporary if the horse is relocated to a hotter climate from a cooler one
 
The horse is back to normal, or as normal as an old horse can be. It's now got issues around needing special shoes.

I'm glad she will cling to old/broken things for as long as possible, means she'll probably stick with me. :)
 
Horses are a big headache and money pit. Glad you got yours figured out. My girlfriend has one and with the trouble that it’s caused she won’t have another as long as we’re together. Pigs and cats are more critters that fall in the category.
