I read this little gem in the newspaper back
home..(Meadville Tribune-Northwest Penn)... the author is from Kansas...
so it appears- no matter which state you are from.... horses and weather
are the same.. Syc
The Top 10 ways to use a horse as a weather
gauge:
10. You're walking across the pasture and run smack-dab
into a Shetland pony - heavy fog in low-lying areas.
9. The horse
swishes his tail and knocks you unconscious - icy conditions.
8. A
14-hand horse appears to be about 16 hands tall - snow with possible
accumulation up to 8 inches.
7. The ground looks wet but the
hoofprints are dry - very light showers.
6. Your horse bites and
kicks you - well, that really just means you were an idiot for buying him.
5. The horse looks hungry because his big round bale floated away
- possible flooding in some areas.
4. Your sorrel horse has turned
roan - snowfall with little or no accumulation.
3. He's slow to
leave the hedge row even though you're rattling the feed bucket -
excessive heat warning.
2. The horse is hanging onto the fence
with his teeth - blustery winds (or you've got a cribber).
1. The
front half of the horse is wet and the back half is dry - isolated
showers.
