Not every horse has the same understanding of Whoa that I do.  I tell my horse to Whoa by leaning back in the saddle just a hair's with, I let all my energy out, I put my legs a little forward.  If my horse doesn't stop, I lift up one rein.  That's what I would like to think that I do.  In reality, I do all of the above, but my hands sneak up and pull with both reins back...just a little.  Your hands work independently of what your outward brain…

My idea is to visit the big WalMart store on my way home from work.  Turns out, it's not a good idea.  It's the busiest store in country right before dinner. Everyone from Raytown is there.

Obviously, he isn't a horse person.  But we were there early and they were just setting up for the skeet…

After the 5 hour clinic today, I came home and died in the recliner. All my muscles died, my eyes died,my smile died, my bright red hair died.

Lordy I had my condition diagnosed after this happened.  It a disease and it's called OLD LADY SYNDROME OLS can be semi-cured with naps.
