What is it about a big a$$ non-aerodynamic box going down the road that makes people want to put their bumper right up on it?
We are hauling our livelihoods, our best friends and our families. We can’t stop on a dime but if you don’t have lightning fast reflexes or are distracted, that doesn’t matter. If you’re following so closely that you can’t see my mirrors, you also won’t be able to see anything coming up that might require me to put on my brakes. You’re risking everyone’s future and what does it get you? Sitting on my bumper will make me go even slower than before just to be careful!

Not wiping off the Bridle and bits before hanging it up is another pet peeve!

I have attended many CPR classes over the years, but was never told this…..
When you are alone and have a heart attack. What are you gonna do then ?
A rarely good post that can't be shared often enough:
1.
Take a 2 minute break and read this:
Let's say it's 5:25 pm and you're driving home after an unusually hard day's work.
2.
You are really tired and frustrated.
All of a sudden your chest pains. They are starting to radiate in the arm and jaw. It feels like being stabbed in the chest and heart. You're only a few miles away from the nearest hospital or home.
3.
Unfortunately you don't know if you can make it..
4.
Maybe you've taken CPR training, but the person running the course hasn't told you how to help yourself.
5.
How do you survive a heart attack when you're alone when it happens? A person who is feeling weak and whose heart is beating hard has only about 10 seconds before losing consciousness.
6.
But you can help yourself by coughing repeatedly and very strongly! Deep breaths before every cough. Coughing should be repeated every second until you arrive at the hospital or until your heart starts to beat normally.
7.
Deep breathing gives oxygen to your lungs and coughing movements boost the heart and blood circulation. Heart pressure also helps to restore a normal heartbeat. Here's how cardiac arrest victims can make it to the hospital for the right treatment
8.
Cardiologists say if someone gets this message and passes it on to 10 people, we can expect to save at least one life.
9.
FOR WOMEN: You should know that women have additional and different symptoms. Rarely have crushing chest pain or pain in the arms. Often have indigestion and tightness across the back at the bra line plus sudden fatigue.
Instead of posting jokes, you're helping save lives by spreading this message.

I READ THIS ON ANOTHER TRAINER'S PAGE AND THOUGHT AFTER A LONG HORSE SHOW SEASON... something to think about...From 2015 and still rings true!

"Trainers and coaches are the nuttiest group of people you will ever know. Who else gets up in the middle of the night to make your dreams come true when they could be sleeping? They find 100 ways to explain things they have told you a million times with the hopes that you may just get it this time... when in the corporate world you would be just fired for your incompetence. They keep us safe and make sure we have fun. They shake off their own bad rides to get you ready within minutes. They focus on you-- even when they shouldn't and manage to make it all work even when they shouldn't. They work tirelessly to make you new great horses and will support you even when you refuse to change horses even though it makes everybody's job tougher. They put your needs first... Often at the expense of having a personal life. Yes, they get paid for their services, but figure out their hourly wage, you will see real quick that the math sucks. So next time you decide to have a melt down... Think hard and please remember that the professional has invested way more in YOU than YOU realize... Just Thank Them!!"
