WHEN YOUR HORSE DIES
If the horse you’ve been riding has died, then for heaven’s sake, DISMOUNT! — Anonymous . . . But instead of dismounting, we try . . . 1. Buying a stronger whip. 2.. Switching riders. 3. Trying a new bit or bridle. 4. Moving the horse to a new location. 5. Riding the horse for longer periods of time. 6. Saying things like, “This is the way we’ve always ridden this horse.” 7. Appointing a committee to study the horse. 8. Arranging to visit other sites where they ride dead horses more efficiently. 9. Increasing the standards for riding dead horses. 10. Creating a test for measuring our riding ability. 11. Comparing how we’re riding now with how we did ten or twenty years ago. 12. Complaining about the state of horses these days. 13. Coming up with new styles of riding. 14. Tightening the cinch. 15. Blaming the horse’s parents. The problem is often breeding.
