Horse Sense

You Two-legs use lots of human words to describe us equines and our behaviour: most of which are incorrect, at least to an equines' understanding. Here are a few that spring to mind.

Flint

Barn Sour - An affliction common to horse people in northern climates during No-Grass (winter months). Trudging through deep snow, pushing wheelbarrows through snow and beating out frozen water buckets tend to bring on this condition rapidly.

Hock - The financial condition that a horse owner goes into

Lameness - The condition of most two-legs after the first few rides each year; can be a chronic condition in weekend riders.

Race - What a two-leg's heart does heart does when they see the vet bill.

Endurance ride - The end result when a horse spooks and runs away with a two-legs in the woods.

Saddle - An expensive leather two-legs contraption manufactured to give them a false sense of     security. Comes in many styles, all feature built-in ejector seats.

Withers - The reason you'll seldom see a man riding bareback.

Colt - What a mare always gives you when you want a filly.

Gallop- The customary gait a horse chooses when returning to the stable.

Head Tosser - A blonde-haired two-legs who wears "labled" boots while working in the stable

Manure spreader - Horse traders

Lunging - A training method a horse uses on its two-legs with the purpose of making the poor soul spin in circles-rendering the two-legs dizzy, so they get sick and pass out, thus the successful horse trainer can go back to grazing.
