Re: RC: Singing while riding..was Re: Various thoughts/recent posts

[Dave & Abby Bloxsom <cyclone@snet.net>]

My mom used to sing the same verse of "Don't Fence Me In", or "I've Got
Spurs That Jingle Jangle" (or what ever it's called) over, and OVER and
*OVER* until I thought I'd lose it.  Now that I don't get to ride with
her anymore, I find myself singing the same dumb verses to my horse.  I
like to sing to settle down an eager horse, actually.
