I doubt that. Most likely the other way around. If you have nothing constructive to add, stay in your rose garden. My experience with several local & statewide horse rescue organizations (Horses Haven & Michigan Horse Welfare Coalition) indicates that the humans involved are good intentioned individuals who have faith & feelings more than facts and skills based on experiences. They are often dangerous with even simple tools needed: post hole diggers, hammer & nails, screw guns, power washers, tractors, fences, barbed wire, any size or shape of hay bales, and even the animals themselves. They treat these 'things' like they were intelligent beings with large vocabularies. Their clothing is inappropriate for wearing around rotating machinery, they drive expensive vehicles that don't do well in mucky pastures, they are careless around fuels, chain saws, manure spreaders, backing up equipment, and they bring their designer pets which often interfere with actual rescue attempts: trailer loading, shoeing, injections, hoof trimming & cleaning, exercise, feeding, stalling, and grooming. These 'influencers' are least likely to wear a red hat. (Usually their kid's high school or college ball cap with their pony tail hanging out the back. One UofM professor even wore spurs on her brand new snakeskin boots (WTF ???). They tire easily but bring only enough wine & cheese for those who desire to observe rather than help. This is DATA, not book learning, YouTube certification video evidence, or b.s. from news articles.

More data: REAL folks with soft hearts towards aging horses drive Ford Super Duty F-350 trucks. Some are Dually's, too ! And I worked for GM ! And, I even now know why !

If you wear a blue hat you better run out and scrap all your old environmental unfriendly equipment and bankrupt yourself to buy new electric crap. We won’t even mention adding methane collection on the horses.
