It is Hope’s Fault

Fancy:  Why are you riding me in the afternoon when it is so dang hot?

Susan:  Hope wanted to ride Lucky with us this afternoon.

Fancy:  This is Hope’s fault?  The woman sitting on Lucky?

Susan:  Yes.  It’s Hope’s fault

Fancy:  Can I bite Hope?

Susan:  No.  Lucky will protect her.

Fancy:  It’s too darn hot when you have to give me a bath before you ride me.

Susan:  I’m sorry.  You were sweaty with a crust of sweat dirt.  We wouldn’t want your saddle pad to get crusty sweat-grit dirty.  It’s Hope’s fault.

Fancy:  Where is my bridle and bit?  How dare you ride me without a bit.  I’m out of control right now.

Susan:  You are standing still right now.

Fancy:  I heard you tell Hope how nice the breeze is when I move.  You make ME move so you get a breeze!  Did you get me a Horse Abuse phone yet.

Etc.

I’m sorry Fancy. I’m hot too.
