New Year's Resolutions....by the Horse!
- I CAN walk and poop at the same time. I can, I can, I can
- I will NOT stop and poop or urinate every time I pass the
same spot in the arena.
- I will NOT leave when my rider falls off.
- My stall is NOT my litter box.
- When I have free access to my paddock, I will NOT go back
inside to pee.
- I will NOT roll in streams or try to roll when my human is
on my back.
- I will NOT leap over large nonexistent obstacles when the
whim strikes.
- I will NOT walk faster on the way home than I did on the
way out.
- I promise NOT to swish my tail while my human is cleaning
my back feet.
- I promise also NOT to choose that particular time to answer
nature's call.
- I will NOT bite my farrier's butt just because it's there.

hay.

white shirt.
- I will NOT blow my nose on my human.

mile radius.

glazed over and my legs straight out and pretend I can't hear my human
frantically screaming "Are you asleep?"

if it is on.
- I will promise NEVER to dump the wheelbarrow of manure over
while my human is mucking my stall.
- I will NOT grab my lead rope in my mouth and attempt to

- I will NOT have an attitude problem. I won't, I won't, I
won't!

- I will NOT do the Arab Teleport Trick when a
bad/naughty/awful Horsasaurus Monster breathes at me.
- I will NOT jump in the air, turn 180 degrees every time I

- I will NOT bite the butt of the horse in front of me during
the trail ride just to say "Hi".
- I WILL put my ears forward and cooperate when it comes to
