No lying--these are true,
straight from the horse's mouth. (haha!!)
1) Think before you
shove a freezing cold bit into my mouth!
2) Don't punish me
for pinning my ears back when you tighten my girth. If I grabbed
your belt and pulled really hard--you would make a face too!
3) When you toss that
flake of hay into my stall, please make sure my head in out of
the way first!
4) I wouldn't rub my
braids if the didn't make me look like a dork. Remember that.
5) When taking me to
a show-- please don't let dad drive as if he was in Indy 500, and weave
in and out of traffic!
6) Tube
Worming--there has got to be a better way!
7) My tail was made
for getting rid of flies--not to practice Hollywood hair-dos on.
8) Please don't lock
the cats out of the barn at night. They tell the best jokes!
9) I only helped you
remove those bandages because you forgot to last night.
10) If you don't want
to me roll right after my bath, then don't put me outside.
11) When you brush my
face, keep it in your head how you felt when your mother used insist on
wiping your nose for you.
12) Honest, I meant
to grab you sleeve just to get your attention.
13) Watch where you
make me step. Would you want to walk over gravel in your bare
feet?
14) Be understanding.
There are days when you would buck and squeal if you could.
15) I don't go to
your house to bother your little brother or your dog, so please don't
bring them to the barn if they are going to bother me.
16) When cleaning my
hind hooves, don't crank my leg high up in the air or my only recourse
will be to pass gas as soon as your face is level with my tail.
17) Get the dogs and
cats out from my legs where I can't see them. (unless you like
them tenderized)
18) You watch
television when you're bored--I spook at the troll in the corner of the
arena. It's the same thing really.
19) If you can't sit
in the saddle properly, don't expect me to keep jogging.
20) Please don't get
frustrated when I don't perform like Big Ben and I promise to love you
even though you don't ride like Ian Millar.
