Cowboy Saying
Each month, one of my quick little tasks (funny how these "little" bits end up adding up into one huge to-do list!) is to supply our production team with quotes, tidbits, and fun facts for the Marketplace section in the back of H&R. The Marketplace is where you can find helpful advertisements for everything from horse insurance to manure vacuums -- yes, I'm serious (check out www.greystoneamerica.com).
One of the quotes I ran across today while I working on this:
“When in doubt, let your horse do the thinkin’.” ~ Cowboy saying
I'm thinking, whoever came up with this must have had a really good horse. If I dropped my reins and let my horse do the "thinkin,'" we'd end up at the feed bucket 9 times out of ten! And that tenth time, we'd end up going for a nice roll in the dirt, which means I'd end up squooshed!
What would would happen if y'all let your horse do the thinkin'?
P.S. Know any cool horse quotes I can borrow?

I have to find the "Quote of the Week" for the EquiSearch newsletter each week. I have a nice backlog now, but it can be painful trying to find something new. I often "borrow" from your mag, so thanks for that. ;-) Love your take on that quote, too.

I love those quotes!! Keep 'em comin' :)
How about: Fat is a good colour for any horse (read that on a blog)
I think the quote you referred to in this post comes from cowboys out riding the range and a little bit lost. Give your horse its head and they'll get ya back home.
If I would have let my horses do the thinking, I would have ended up anywhere EXCEPT the saddle. That's what I get for associating myself with tricksters.
