True Horse-Related Confessions. Volume 2
Mar 26 2009
By request, and since we have so many new people here since back in fall 2007, let’s continue the True Horse-Related Confessions this weekend! What’s your true (horse-related) confession? What would your horsey friends give you shit about forever if they only knew? Looking back on that original thread, I have to laugh because I was at a barn this week where they were training a horse for Native Costume and, you know, I still want to do it. I’m going to do that one day, ha ha! We’ll get some cute little rescue Arabian and I’ll have my chance!
That thread was hilarious. Just a sample:
“I fell off a cutting horse trying to “cut” another person. It was really embarassing.” “Ok, I do show costume. The pants are ALWAYS size huge with a drawstring so you bunch them up for that billow look. I did not double tie the drawstring. During the hand gallop I felt a breeze. I looked down and saw my leopard print undies. Just so you know, it isn’t an easy task to hold 4 reins decorated with tassels with one hand, pull up and hold your HUGE pants with the other while going mock 40 on a 16.2 galloping fool. In the head to tail line up, I pulled the pants tight with my teeth and then sat on the drawstring and closed my cape. I still won. “
“I ride western because my lumpy, cottage cheese ass is so terrifying in breeches that it would make children cry and turn straight men gay and gay women straight.”
“Oh um, I dunno if anybody saw this particular episode on RFDTV but we’ve determined that the attraction to Parelli is directly related to the fact that he can carry his carrot stick between his butt cheeks…and the crowd went WILD!”
So let’s hear all of your confessions! Oh, and my current confession? I am, despite all my previous protests about how I just don’t like them and don’t get along with them, currently ground training two adult mustangs…and I really like one of them. He is really smart. I may have to eat my words yet…you mustang folks can start gloating now!

(this is confessions, right… so please don’t kill me)
I have:
-Tried one of my horse’s treats (it smelled good, tasted like crap) & tried to get him to eat chili cheese fries
-Ridden home in the horse trailer with him (we had a blast)
-Taken him into the living room of my friend’s house fully tacked up
-Rolled around in the dirt outside a show at the expo in broad daylight because I didn’t think he was comfortable rolling first
-Used him for cover & his mane for balance when tinkeling on a trail (no sir, I do not need you to hold my horse, hes coming w/ me)
-Represented him as a friend’s mare when I left his coggins at home
-Stumbled out to the pasture after many a cold beverage & fallen asleep laying across him while he was laying down
I slid down the manure heap when no one was looking, to “see what it was like”… It was not pleasant!
Cathy, you have got to do True Horse realated confessions 3! I was bored and looking through your archives and THIS made me actually (really) laugh out loud! Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Sure, we’ll do that again Friday, sound good? Those ARE fun. I’ve done that twice!
