1. If you do a thorough check of your trailer before hauling, your truck will break down. 2. There is no such thing as a sterile barn cat. 3. No one ever notices how you ride until you fall off. 4. The least useful horse in your barn will eat the most, require shoes every 4 weeks and need the vet at least once a month. 5. A horse's misbehavior will be in direct proportion to the number of people who are watching. 6. Tack you hate never wears out; blankets you hate cannot be destroyed; horses you hate cannot be sold and will outlive you. 7. Clipper blades will become dull only when the horse is half finished. clipper motors will quit only when you have the horse's head left to trim. 8. If you wonder if you left the water on...you did. If you wonder if you latched the pasture gate, you didn't. If you wonder if the horse noticed..it did..and its too late. 9. One horse isn't enough..two is too many. 10.If you approach within 50 ft. of the barn in 'street clothes' you will get dirty. 11.Hoof picks migrate. 12.The perfect horse is the one you wish you had never sold. 13.Horses that hate each other at home become inseparable when you try to take a 'potty break' out on the trail. 14.You can carry all the days feed in one armful but it takes 2 or 3 wheelbarrows full to clean it out of the stall when they are done with it.
A bad day with a horse beats any day with your vacuum cleaner.
