Curiosity in horses

The folks at Fish Creek House write a lot about horses. Perhaps they have some of their own? I imagine they take a lot of pride in their horses. Something akin to the pride that most people take in their writing. Why is it that the folks at Fish Creek House so disrespect the works of others that they copy them willy-nilly without any attribution? A simple set of quotation marks with a link to the source would suffice.

Take this post dated August 26th, 2006: Update Sept 15, 2007: Oh my, they took down the post! Imagine that.

The first paragraph


A secret recipe to horsemanship is to create curiosity. Rather than you approaching the horse, try drawing it towards you. This may take time depending on the horse’s conditioning. Horses that have not been exposed to human interaction or have had negative encounters with humans may let the fear drive them away more than a horse that has been handled humanely by humans.


looks like it was lifted word-for-word from this post from the Horse Bliss blog: Curiosity creates confidence.
