I normally have several horses in residence at my farm as well, who are easily spooked. Do you know how much a vet bill is if, God forbid, your horse gets scared and goes through a fence? Not to mention the emotional turmoil and the pain involved for the animal. So, let the big boys handle the fireworks downtown.

Now I'm not saying I don't enjoy fireworks, because I do! There's something magical and romantic about them if I'm being honest. I just don't enjoy kids having bottle rocket wars in the street or roman candles going off willy-nilly. With that being said, I know folks are going to pop their own fireworks, but if you're going to do it, do it responsibly!
