There is no such thing as a sterile barn cat. No one ever notices how you ride until
you fall off. The least useful horse in your barn will eat the most, require shoes every four weeks and need the vet at
least once a month. A horse's misbehavior will be in direct proportion to the number of people who are watching. Your
favorite tack always gets chewed on, and your new blanket gets torn. Tack you hate will never wear out and blankets you
hate cannot be destroyed. Horses you hate cannot be sold and will outlive you. Clipper blades will become dull when
your horse is half clipped. If you approach within 50 feet of your barn in clean clothes, you will get dirty. The number
of horses you own will increase to the number of stalls in your barn. Your barn will fall down without baling twine. Hoof
picks always run a way from home. If you fall off, you will land on the site of your most recent injury. If you are
winning, then quit, because there is only one way to go. Down!
