I am a bit tired, and need to “refresh” ….but until then I must share with you my first letter from a horse. Thank you to a favorite in my auditor crowd. xoxko
Karin,
I wanted to start off with telling you that this symposium was a terrible idea, as a
middle aged dressage horse I have grown quite comfortable in bamboozling my rider
pretty well. It is true I have a huge ass and it is also true that I can use it on
occasion but only to fight for the last crumbs in the pasture or to remove an
un-abiding rider. I am just fuming over this symposium crap that was used to
"educate" riders and to show them how to use us for a prettier picture. Frankly I
am tired of getting my good name drug through the mud when in fact I am just as cool
standing in the pasture as under saddle. I am really not interested in to working
any harder I think I do my job quite well standing in the arena with my ears up is
my favorite and I think my most beautiful gate. I think if you polled the general
Equine population in the area they would all give your symposium a hooves down.
After my usually passive and very agreeable rider came back home yesterday she had a
fire in her eyes and decided she wanted to "try something new" I was minding my own
business ready for my daily massage and little jog around the arena to keep my
trophy horse figure she thought it was a great idea to try have me use my rear end.
(*$&#($&#(*$&()@*#&@)(&# I don't think so, that is reserved for tail swishing and
fence rubbing certainly not working under saddle. I tried to get my union rep on
the phone to remedy the situation but they said that was in my original contract
when I first started this gig and I should feel lucky that I have gotten away with
it this long. So Miss Offield if you ever try to do one of these absolutely
ridiculous things again, I and others on the proverbial other side of the fence will
not be supporting.
Sincerely,
MOOSEY R Moose (Rowan) 12 year old Friesian Mare.
