5 Things I've Learned About Horses

#1 "The meek will inherit the earth, but they will not ride a horse."
(This advice was given to me by cowboy poet Gary McMahon after
I complained that the horse I'm riding always seems to want to go a
slightly different way from the others.)

#2 Just because a horse avoids a tree or a fence doesn't mean that your knee won't whack it.

#3 Don't try to put on a jacket while riding a horse.
(You have to introduce anything new to horses very carefully so that they don't get scared; it
is best to get off your horse, slowly show him/her the new object, and then proceed).

#4 It is better to ride the flatulent horse than to ride the horse behind him.

#5 Baby Icelandics are about the cutest thing I've ever seen!
