Correlations
Set out below are the unscientific, anecdotal observations of a set of correlations concerning horses and their owners. I feel fully qualified to opine on such matters because I am an utterly unscientific observer of anecdotal data.
There is a strong correlation between:
the high cost of a horse with the likelihood of that horse to be lame.
the ugliness of a women with her obsession with having a horse with "perfect" conformation.
the absurd, pretentious, lengthiness of an owner's name with having a horse with an absurd, pretentious, lengthy name.
the utter ignorance of a horse owner with the high volume in which the owner displays that ignorance for all to hear.
the bland conformity of a horse owner with the likelihood that that owner will own a quarter horse.
a women's knowledge of, and desire to follow all of the "rules" of proper horse care, with my delight that I did not end up married to her.
Hahaha! Nice word choice!

ReplyDeleteNo matter what your born it's what you become that makes you who you are.
I agree! Horses hate having rules obeyed on them. I think that you should ditch the martingale, three bits, and saddle. "Disobey" some rules for once and take a canter around the pen with a halter.
ReplyDeleteCricket would hate my guts if I was always obeying rules...
