I rounded up a horse on I-4 at the Haines City exit and led him up to
the gas station on the south side. We *were giving him a drink out of
a *dry wall bucket I had in my truck when the owner drove up. He had
fallen out of the trailer and they didn't notice until the trailer
door swung out past the edge of the trailer.
The lady was very happy to see the horse, even if he was scuffed up a
mite. *The horse was not in a hurry to get back in the trailer tho.

Wow, deja vu! Once years ago, about a mile from that very exit, I
watched as a truck carrying a horse trailer lost control, swerved a
couple of times, and finally flipped the trailer on it's side. Three
horses in it. Don't know the outcome, didn't stay.

Besides - horses are an evoltionary dead end - dumb as a rock wall and
with about as much personality.

I concur.

Funny! There's an ana-mule with personality.


He's a pain in the ass.

That's "Sebastian". He is (or was) one of the most anti-social horses
among other horses that exists. Horses are herd animals and typically like
to be among other horses. Not Sebastian.
He thrives on being by himself. Until recently.

Anna has two horses over at her friend's barn the next town over because
they use them for
riding lessons for other people and for competition in horse shows.
Sebastian, being an ornery old coot was kept by himself at our house and he
was in heaven. Then, another friend brought a mare to stay at our barn for
a while. (You can see her in the background in the pictures I posted)

Sebastian fell in love. He can't tolerate being separated from the mare.
If you put him out in the paddock without her around he fusses, kicks the
gate, runs around like an idiot and tries to pull the gate down with his
teeth. It's a bit scary to see how powerful a horse is. That's when I
hop in my truck and go for a ride.

I know what you're speaking about. My dog does it when he wants some
attention. He'll lay on his back with his legs moving around, pause with
his legs point straight up, and suddenly jump up, give a good shake and
then stare at me. Then I know for sure it's time for a good dump.


Here's one of my favorite pictures of Mrs.E. and one of her horses. Photo
was taken by Jim in FL a few years back when we had a place down there. A
framed, higher resolution, glossy print of this is hanging on the wall of
her dentist's waiting room.

That's a great picture.

Love it.

With a name like Sebastian, do you blame him? :)

Super photo. Great shot for a dentist's office.

I was wondering why he wasn't named 'Sue'.

Probably bad outcome. Going to work one morning down I-680 the CHP officer
has his gun drawn and ready to put down a horse that got out of a pasture
and had been hit by a car. Was standing there with most of it's innards
exposed. Past by before the officer finished the job the car started.
