All I Need To Know...

" Grady"

Thought this was funny and accurate. It seems someone captured my herd's wisdom perfectly!

All I need to know in life I leaned from my horses - Vol. 1

1. When in doubt, run far, far away.
2. You can never have too many treats.
3. Passing gas in public is nothing to be ashamed of.
4. New shoes are an absolute necessity every 6 weeks.
5. Ignore cues; they're just another prompt to do more work.
6. Everyone loves a good, wet, slobbery kiss.
7. Never run when you can trot.
8. Never trot when you can walk.
9. And never walk when you can stand still.
10. Heaven is eating at least 10 hours a day...and then sleeping the rest.

All I need to know in life I learned from my horses - Vol. 2

1. Eat plenty of roughage.
2. Great legs and a nice rear will get you anywhere in life. Big, brown eyes help too.
3. When you want your way, stomp hard on the nearest foot.
4. In times of crises, take a poop.
5. Act dumb when faced with a task you don't want to do.
6. Follow the herd, that way you can't be singled out to take the blame.
7. A swift kick in the butt will get anyone's attention.
8. Love those who love you back, especially if they have something good to eat.
9. Leather and chains can make anyone look studly.
10. Happiness is a warm, fuzzy blanket and someone to share it with.

Until next time

When in doubt, ask a horse.

Another Year Over

Can it be that another year has come to a close and we’re heading into a new one?  It seems as I get older the years fly by much too quickly for my liking, but there’s nothing to do about it except go with the flow.

The herd and I would like to wish all our friends, human and horses alike, a Happy New Year with many new experiences. Learning more about each other and of course sharing exciting rides and exploring new possibilities.  But I’ll let them all speak for themselves since they do it so well.

Quote for Today

Like human beings, horses are all individuals with singular personalities, their own virtues and their own faults. We become bound to them for their beauty, their eccentricities, their heart and the love they so often return to us.
