I guess that's because I don't have enough padding on my posterior. But in the common household horse, we have one of the few animals in all nature that is simultaneously so dumb and so devious. Sure, they look noble, but so do lions, and we all know what *they're* like. At least, when you come upon a horse and rider, you know which one of them will do the talking. (Shut up, Ed.) The European myth of the dignified monarch on horseback is one of the Great Lies of History, and personally, I think it was started by the horses as a publicity campaign. You may ask, why would a horse need positive publicity? Ride one and see. If God had intended humans to ride horses, She would have given them seat belts. When a horse walks up to you after bucking you off and gazes at you with those big brown eyes, watch your fingers. Those front feet have mongo knuckle-dusters. And the nicker is really a laugh they don't dare let out... ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) P-: (The last one is still trying to stay on......nope.) Anyone know of any riding clubs around here? --fini-- Really Single (honest!), and I don't include these addresses for my health...
