BIG Quarter Horse Stud = 1
Dog's Soccer Ball = 0
Shock Factor = Priceless!
First Shepherd Casey was looking for ANYone to *kick* her favorite toy / Soccer Ball
Only available warm body = IMAGE, the BIG (16 hand) Quarter Horse stud
who was tied in the aisle of the horse barn.
Image & Casey had a bit of a love/hate relationship - Casey was ALWAYS around;
and Image had been *told* The Dawg was a Favorite Child -
DON'T hurt the Dawg! He put up with her ...
She had *tossed* her Soccer Ball under his feet at least a dozen times ...
when it hit a foot, he'd move the foot - she was sure he was *kicking* it for her = Game ON!
The more she grabbed the ball and *tossed* it at his feet, the more upset he got!
I was about to suggest to Casey that she give it a rest - when it happened!
The tossed ball bumped his rear leg ... he tossed his head and picked up his BIG hoof ...
And **STOMPED** it down squarely on the Soccer Ball ...
****Ka-BOOOOOOOOOOM****
Dust filtered down from the roof trusses for 5 minutes ...
Da Horse jumped straight up a good two feeet and seemed to hang there ...
Casey took off like she'd been shot ...
The phone rang - the House wanted to know "WHAT Happened?"
Followed by "Hey, Casey's here - shaking like a leaf!"
The Favorite Toy/Soccer Ball was never the same --- it had a split that
covered 1/2 its diameter --- its kicking daze were over.
And da Horse could be backed into a corner by da Dawg - IF she was carrying
her special weapon - the BOOM-Ball.
