For horse lovers...this is good!

I got this in an e-mail, and wanted to share!! Only the real horse people will understand this though, LOL!




Top Ten Exercises to be a Better Horseperson!

10. Drop a heavy steel object on your foot. Don't pick it up right away. Shout, "Get off, Stupid, GET OFF!"

9. Leap out of a moving vehicle and practice "relaxing into the fall". Roll lithely into a ball and spring to your feet.

8. Learn to grab your checkbook out of your pocket or purse and write out a $200 check without even looking down.

7. Jog long distances carrying a halter and a carrot. Go ahead and tell the neighbors what you are doing -- they might as well know now.

6. Affix a pair of reins to a moving freight train and practice pulling a halt. Smile as if you are having fun.

5. Hone your fibbing skills: "See Hon, moving hay bales is FUN!" and "No, really, I'm glad your lucky performance and multimillion dollar horse won the blue ribbon. I am just thankful that my hard work and actual ability won me second place."

4. Practice dialing your vet number with both arms paralyzed to the shoulder and one foot anchoring the lead rope of a frisky horse.

3. Borrow the US Army's slogan: Be All That You Can Be -- bitten, thrown, kicked, dragged, slimed, trampled, frozen...

2. Lie face down in a puddle of mud in your most expensive riding clothes and repeat to yourself, "This is a learning experience, this is a learning experience, this is..."

1. THE NUMBER ONE EXERCISE TO BECOME A BETTER EQUESTRIAN: Marry money. (lol )

lol the number 1 rule is a decal stickerf i saw it today at the saddlery store while gettin yet another new saddle...
i walked in getting a saddle came out with much more and order stuff

[areias]

LOL Those are great.

While recounting all my interesting experiences (aka bad falls) with horses, my friend asked me why do I even bother. Life would be easier without them. I didn't have an answer for him, because it would be easier. But it wouldn't be as fun, and I enjoy the challenge. (Esp because, trying to stop a freight train can get quite interesting )

Oh and yes..whenever I go into a tack shop, even if I don't find what I'm looking for, I come out with at least 3 things that I really don't need.

Oh yes, number 1, marry money. Too bad it's far too late for me!
