"My Horse Has Selective Hearing"
My horse can hear a treat bag being opened from a mile away, yet when I ask for a simple transition? Silence. I could be screaming “WHOA” like a banshee, and he’ll still be casually trotting toward the next county like it’s none of my business.
"Why Do I Own 47 Saddle Pads?"
I have one horse. And yet, somehow, I’ve accumulated enough saddle pads to open my own tack shop. Do I use all of them? No. Do I need to keep buying more? Absolutely. Because what if I show up to the barn one day and my horse is suddenly in the mood for burgundy instead of navy?
