Lifted from somewhere.... ;)

How Many Horses Does It Take......To Change a Lightbulb?

Thoroughbred: Who ME?? Do WHAT? I’m scared of light bulbs! I’m outta here!

Arabian: I changed it an hour ago… C’mon you guys – catch up!

Quarter Horse: Put all the bulbs in a pen and tell me which one you want.

Standardbred: Oh for Pete’s Sake, give me the darn bulb and let’s be done with it.

Shetland: Give it to me. I’ll kill it and we won’t have to worry about it anymore.

Friesian: I would, but I can’t see where I’m going from behind all this mane.

Belgian: Put the Shetland on my back, maybe he can reach it then.

Warmblood: Is the 2nd Level Instruction Packet in English? Doesn’t anyone realize that I was sold for $75K as a yearling, but only because my hocks are bad, otherwise I would be worth $100K? I am NOT changing lightbulbs. Make the TB get back here and do it.

Morgan: Me! Me! Me! Pleeease let me! I wanna do it! I’m gonna do it! I know how, really I do! Just watch! I’ll rewire the barn after, too.

Appaloosa: Ya’ll are a bunch of losers. We don’t need to change the lightbulb, I ain’t scared of the dark. And someone make that darn Morgan stop jumping up and down before I double barrel him.

Haflinger: That thing I ate was a lightbulb?

Mustang: Lightbulb? Let’s go on a trail ride, instead. And camp. Out in the open like REAL horses.

Lipizzaner: Hah, amateurs. I will change the lightbulb. Not only that, but I will do it while standing on my hind legs and balancing it on my nose, after which I will perform seven flying lead changes in a row and a capriole. Can you do that? Huh? Huh? Didn’t think so.

Miniature: I bet you think I can’t do it just cause I’m small. You know what that is? It’s sizeism!

Akhal Teke: I will only change it if it’s my owner’s lightbulb and no one else has ever touched it.

Andalusian: I will delegate the changing of the lightbulb to my personal groom after he finishes shampooing my mane and cleaning my saddle, but only on the condition that it is changed for a soft blue or green bulb, which reflects better off my coat while I exhibit my astonishing gaits.

Cleveland Bay: I’m busy. Make the whipper-in and the hounds do it.

Saddlebred: My ears are up already, please please get the lightbulb away from me! I’m ready to show, really, I promise I’ll win!

Paint: Put all the lightbulbs in a pen, tell me which one you want, and my owner will bet you twenty bucks I can get it before the quarter horse.

POA: I’m not changing it. I’m the one who kicked the old one and broke it in the first place, remember? Now, excuse me, I have a grain room to break into.

Grade Horse: Guys? Um, guys? I hope you don’t mind, but I went ahead and changed it while you were all arguing.

Absolutely not being rude, I see barrel racers kick, kick, kicking through the entire cloverleaf (I'm sure I've done it too).
My question is, has anyone gone to a time only & tested one run right after another to see if they actually get a faster time with kick kick kick vs just steering or solid squeeze etc? Does it really help? Its the only speed or timed event that I've seen where riders employ the kick kick kick method. Just a random thought I had...

Hehe!

Lol!

To blanket or not to blanket?

12/25/2019

"The horse has no say whether it gets painted or not" if a horse doesnt want 15 fawning 10 year olds to touch it youre darn sure they arent going to stand still! These camps use washable classroom paint, then wash it off immediately. Animal rights (not animal welfare) people can be over the top..

The camp's operators said that the activity encouraged kids to interact with the animal.

Lol!!!

Pictures of Rosy, a white-and-brown mare mistakenly painted neon pink by a teen in the B.C. Interior, are providing some welcome levity to residents dealing with wildfires.

Its amazing how many students wander off when the horse is still saddled after a ride!!

Wow!

Taken in 1901, this grand, and wonderfully sharp image makes it hard to believe that this family scene is nearly 120 years ago. Produced by the Poole Photographic Studio, Waterford, this is the family of Archibald McCoy (aged 49), Solicitor, who's younger brother was James Abernethy McCoy DSO, RN, Commander of 4 Destroyers during WWII.
Archibalds wife, Mary Helen (aged 35) is seen holding the reins of her daughter's pony. Aged just 9 months, Mary Helen (bearing her Mother's name) looks pretty comfortable in that custom made wicker seat. I think it's safe to assume that the McCoys were quite well-to-do, I can't imagine a better start in life than riding around the Irish countryside on your own pony. Archibald and his wife, had another daughter, Irene Emily a year after this picture was taken, so I'm sure that wicker seat got plenty of use.
The house is No. 71 John's Hill, in Waterford, and the family lived here with two servants: Norah Elizth Greehy (aged 22), and Norah Margaret Tyran (aged 19).

This is my colourised version of the plate glass negative produced in 1901, but I have posted the original photograph at the top of the comments.
