WAV - get real

My grandsons tack up their horses, including the bit. They're 11 and 12. When they go out the horses come to them from across the field, and stand without any panic or signs of discomfort while they're tacked. This is in the real world on a real farm with real people.

On a farm cattle are put in barns for their protection not as a punishment; they are put into the fields to graze not play. They are milked when their udders are full - there's no point putting a pump on a dry teat.
