I am so busting that out next time somebody asks me when I'm popping one out. It's so much more nuanced than my usual "NEVER."<br /><br />By far my favorite horse question, which I get A LOT as a downtown carriage driver, is, "Is that real?" No. We've invested in the wave of the future: horse-shaped robots.Mackenzie | Bright Strange Thingshttp://www.brightstrangethings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241759945865843517.post-70246345790145101682012-05-15T13:54:22.802-07:002012-05-15T13:54:22.802-07:00You know, above and beyond all the snark I enjoy s...You know, above and beyond all the snark I enjoy sharing horses with people. And my horse is chill enough for leadline rides. I just have no patience for people who suggest things they have no plans to follow through on, which is an alarmingly high percentage of people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241759945865843517.post-45140675937514094342012-05-15T13:38:56.462-07:002012-05-15T13:38:56.462-07:00Is this for real.... me and my son(9 y/o) thought ...Is this for real.... me and my son(9 y/o) thought this was to funny....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241759945865843517.post-78281523547875252452012-05-15T12:35:32.243-07:002012-05-15T12:35:32.243-07:00Woman said to a man who was sitting on a very fat ...Woman said to a man who was sitting on a very fat gelding while waiting for a parade to start..." You should be ashamed to be riding a pregnant mare!" A few moments latter, the gelding stretched out to pee and the man said back to her. "Oh my gosh. His water just broke. Look there is a leg sticking out!" The woman turned beet red and hurried away! I bet she still has nightmares about putting her city-foot in her mouth on that one! :-)Ponykinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14257389710370896722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241759945865843517.post-30190072128965614452012-05-15T11:44:14.201-07:002012-05-15T11:44:14.201-07:00Wow u own a horse u must be rich!

AND "Are they brothers?" AND "How do you tell them apart?"<br /><br />"How old is he?" about my mare with a girly face, dressed in all hot pink tack.<br /><br />"Do you ride that one?" about the yearling. "It's a yearling." "So?"<br /><br />"I went on a trail ride once, the horse bucked all the way down the trail." My husband, referring to riding a 27 yr old Appy mare who JIGGED constantly because he let her, and had a very choppy gait. I couldn't figure out what he was talking about until he described the horse and I realized he was referring to TROTTING as BUCKING.SpotMeSomeColorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10440255077922177402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241759945865843517.post-81095954564566446022012-05-15T11:05:06.104-07:002012-05-15T11:05:06.104-07:00"I rode a horse once, but it bucked me"

Sure, because I want your starry eyed child on my 16h Shire/Percheron cross so that you think its all fun & games when you find a "free" horse that you take home.<br /><br />My co-worker said - "I have horses too. I have a (no-name, grade) QH that I bred to the neighbors Percheron. She is going to foal at any time. When the baby is weaned I am going to sell it for lots of money because those Warmbloods are sooooooo special." Yes, because someone is going to buy your filly/colt just because it's a mix breed "warmblood" without any training & God knows what his/her conformation is going to be.LayWomansHorsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17283261526087789826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241759945865843517.post-87352646163564939062012-02-14T20:13:07.646-08:002012-02-14T20:13:07.646-08:00Woman to 4-H kids who rode in the Christmas parade...Woman to 4-H kids who rode in the Christmas parade on a wagon (with rubber wheels) pulled by 2 Halflingers. "you kids should be ashamed making those tiny ponies pull all of you in that wagon - that is cruelty to animals." well, those tiny ponies exist because of their ability to pull wagons, plows, or .... I guess the fact that they have good hay/feed, vet care, pasture to frolic in, and occasional light use for the purpose they were developed is cruel.... reminds me of the anti hunter who tells people to buy meat at the grocery store where no animals are harmed.equineobsessedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02864025309491378767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241759945865843517.post-63759203590755823332012-02-05T08:08:52.319-08:002012-02-05T08:08:52.319-08:00"I've been riding since I was a kid."..."I've been riding since I was a kid."
