My grandfather was the fix it type, loved to plant
a garden, and although he did not ride, he taught me a few things about my pony
when I was a child. One thing he told me, that I have never forgotten, and have
tried to always do was "After a ride, always take care of your pony (horse)
first, before taking care of yourself". I have never forgot that, and no matter
how hungry, tired, or what ever I am when done, I always make sure my horses
needs are taken care of first.
