Hi everyone, Kimberly, sent this to me via U.S. mail the other day. I thought I 
would send it out on ride camp so everyone else could enjoy it. Hope everyone 
gets the laugh I did.

"A LETTER FROM YOUR HORSE":

When you are tense, let me teach you to relax. 
When you are short tempered, let me teach you to be patient. 
When you are short sighted, let me teach you to see.
When you are quick to react, let me teach you to be thoughtful. 
When you are angry, let me teach you to be serene. 
When you feel superior, let me teach you to be respectful. 
When you are self absorbed, let me teach you to think of greater things. 
When you are arrogant, let me teach you humility. 
When you are lonely, let me be your companion. 
When you are tired, let me carry the load. 
When you need to learn, let me teach you. 
After all, I am your horse. 

And now, the REAL story...... 

When you are tense, let me teach you that there are lions in them thar woods, 
and we need to leave NOW! 
When you are short tempered, let me teach you how to slog around the pasture 
for an hour before you can catch me. 
When you are short sighted, let me teach you to figure out where, exactly, in 
the 40 acres I am hiding. 
When you are quick to react, let me teach you that herbivores kick MUCH faster 
(and harder) than omnivores. 
When you are angry, let me teach you how well I can stand on my hind feet, 
because I don't feel like cantering on my right lead today. 
When you are worried, let me entertain you with my mystery lameness. 
When you feel superior, let me teach you that, mostly, you are the maid 
service. 
When you are self-absorbed, let me teach you to PAY ATTENTION. Remember? I told 
you about those lions in them thar woods? 
When you are arrogant, let me teach you what 1400 lbs. of "YAHOO LETS GO!" can 
do when suitably inspired. 
When you are lonely, let me be your companion. Let's do lunch. Also, breakfast 
and dinner. 
When you are tired, don't forget the 600 lbs. of grain that needs to be 
unloaded. 
When you are feeling financially secure, let me teach you the meaning of 
"Veterinary Services," 
When you need to learn, hang around, bud. I'll learn ya. 

Sincerely, 

Your Horse

I still prefer what it is that BH100, Tevis, The Duck's Soup of Endurance,
etc. has to offer...but, to see a horse canter over sand for those
distances...Good Lord, it humbles me.
