Because life with horses is never orderly.

The Idea of Order

Ah, yes…Communication.

Is it even possible to truly understand each other?
Ah, if only our equine partners could understand language and possessed verbal skills (although, to be frank, even though other humans have verbal skills I can’t say we’re all doing a bang up job communicating with each other, particularly these days). While I’m certain I’d rather not have to hear how measly their rations are or how they’d prefer not to work today thank-you-very-much, it would be nice if we could just explain to them verbally exactly what we’re trying to get them to do. I’m sure it would clear up quite a bit for all of us involved. 😉

Another Potential Communication Breakdown…

…especially for those of us who worry about things before there things to worry about.
So usually I consider myself pretty intelligent. I can generally follow a conversation and read for comprehension; sometimes I even add insightful comments to the fray. Unfortunately all that goes out the window when my horse has maimed himself and the vet is involved. At that point, usually when the vet is explaining what’s up, my brain takes a momentary hiatus and all I hear is the potential doom. It’s a super fun skill. 😉
