If your horse was the teacher, you'd learn:

Rules to Live By

Do not bite the hand that feeds you.

Share with your friends (especially if there is more hay in the shed).

Always delight in the joy of a good brisk walk.

Be gentle with those smaller than you (but don't let ponies push you around)

Take naps.

Stretch before rising.

Thrive on attention and let people touch you.

Never underestimate the power of a dirty look.

On warm days, stop to lie on the grass.

On hot days, drink lots of water and stay under a shady tree.

Roll when your rug is off and especially if there is mud.


When you're happy, share the joy.

Never pretend to be something you're not.

Eat many small meals during the day and any treats you are offered.


Make sure your gear fits.

Kick up your heels.

If in doubt, take small steps, keep your head up and your eyes wide open.

When someone is having a bad day, be silent, stay close by, and nuzzle them gently.

  2. So far, so good with the cover.
    It is raining like the 'Naki here and I am sick of it. This coast is supposed to be the dry one!
    Love the look of your new girl.
