I'm in the process of having my heating and AC system replaced and 
they're relocating the AC condenser.  I've heard nothing but horror 
stories about what happens when the system isn't installed properly and 
it's got my stomach in an uproar.  I haven't been this nervous since I 
first started teaching and entered a classroom filled with first 
graders.  Now all I can think of is doom and gloom.  So, what better 
way to pick up my spirits than talk about horses.  But since I still 
have feelings about doom and gloom I thought I'd give a listing of some 
of the boners I've pulled over the past 47 years and see how many of 
you can top them.

Started to drive off and realized the horse was still tied to the 
outside of the trailer.  Taught my horse to turn and face me whenever I 
said whoa and when she was doing as taught on a narrow trail while I 
was behind her she wound up falling over the edge into a deep ravine.  
Got my horse stuck in quicksand.  Had my horse standing on the lawn 
waiting to be shod and have the sprinklers come on right underneath her 
(she wound up jumping onto the shoer and his tool stand).  Watched my 
horse run away up a busy street and disappear around a corner only to 
watch seconds later as the horse came back around the corner followed 
closely by a city bus.  Tied my horse to a fence rail and watched as he 
pulled the fence after him on his way home.  Had a horse step on a nail 
out in the pasture and after several weeks in the barn turned same 
horse back into the pasture without checking for more nails and have 
the horse step on another nail two days later.  Approached a skittish 
pony from the rear and basically was laid out flat, face first, in the 
pee pile.  Insisted I knew the directions to a ride and wound up lost.  
The biggest boner of them all was passing up on a nice weekend at home 
with my horse and instead went camping in the snow!

OK.  Those are my big boners.  There are hundreds of little boners, but 
that should get the ball rolling.
