Yeah the extent of my contribution to this is “PONIES!!” Please continue!
I used to ride to the end of our driveway to get the newspaper every morning. By the end of my senior year, I didn’t need a bridle even, she would listen to just leg cues.
I also once rode my horse to school using bike paths to turn in a project I also one brought a chicken trio In a dog carrier for biology class, and my roo roosted on the projector during Spanish.
Want more country kid stories? I have lots
Horse in question:
Ahhhh what a lovely one.
We used to have kids come to school on tractors – like literally a John Deer parked in the parking lot. I think that was our Maximal Country™.
Oh see the super embarrassing thing is that I went to school in town. No one else was country come to think of it, it’s a miracle my husband knew me then and later went on to date me…
I had no idea that mounted patrol used anything but quarterhorses. The barn I rode out was all old retired police horses and they were all quarterhorses. I wonder if that’s specific my region (kentucky).
That horse never made it to bombproof. No mounted patrol for him! Gotta be okay with balloons and noises and bullshit for mounted patrol! He was just my mom’s challenge project hahahah.
My moms gelding would literally get scared by my ducks in their pen. Same place. Every day. Same ducks. V V SCARY.
Trying to make herd prey animals into creatures that won’t be upset and get spooked by children running up to them with balloons and bells (or, like, a duck) is… yeah. It’s not how they’re naturally built.
Well you know the saying right? Horses are only scared of two things. things that move, and things that don’t move.
Reminds me of Monty Python’s Killer Bunny
Oh Portland so we still have horse tethers in the sidewalks a lot of places, so people will hitch little plastic horses to them. (And dinosaurs, sometimes). Well someone made them little masks
If I ever meet you and make you angry please figure out what a skyscraper sounds like and make the noise.
New goal: meet Brute and make him angry so he has to make a noise like a skyscraper.
Hey Brute, your mom wears army boots!
I’ll be hiding behind a bin a block away with my chem lab PPE and bicycle helmet
Oh shit. There are a few genuine hitching posts around here.
Why are all my Breyers back in NY?!
There’s a Facebook group:
