of course all I could think of was "thats HEADLY Lamar" (yeah I just watched Blazing Saddles for the umpteenth time yesterday :) )

Every little cowpoke's dream

1956 Cartoon. I sure miss the days of good saturday morning cartoons! (not that I was around when this one came out!)



Now why is it almost every one of my childhood/early adult horse dreams involved FINALLY getting a horse but then the second I swing my leg over the saddle said horse becomes a tiny pony that my feet drag the ground on, or some sort of inanimate toy horse! Of course now that I have a horse my horsie dreams usually consist of running late for a class at a horse show!

Hold Your Horses

One of my favorite books of horse humor! I especially like the page about the evolution of horse trailer ownership. Where you start out thinking the tiny old 2 horse straight load is all you need and you keep upgrading and getting a bigger rig until you have the biggest most luxurious model out there!

I'm in the lower end of that scale still. I have a very nice newer 2 horse slant bumper pull but yearn for a 2-3 horse gooseneck just in the last year, no living quarters. I just need to throw a mattress up there to sleep on. I wonder how long that would last before I need the LQ with appliances, heat/air, flat screen, shower, bumpout, awning and fireplace. Alas money and a truck thats a bit too small is keeping me grounded in reality.

Paint's dry!

A cowboy walks into a bar. Upon leaving, he realizes that someone has started to paint his horse like a zebra. The cowboy yells, “Which one of you painted my horse?” A seven foot tall hulk of a man says, menacingly, “I did.” The cowboy realizes he is in trouble and replies, “Why, thank you - the first coat’s dry!”
