Pat: I hear that parakeet is pretty good bar-b-q-ed? <G> As for horses, only thing horses are good at is running under #9 clothline and using it as slingshot to sending you flying. Will use tree branch in a pinch. I lived in England for several years. Girlfriend talked me in to going riding (horses) one day. Being a non horseman we had to have a instructor. My horse having been woke up early and having a saddle strapped to his back. Cinched down with the old knee in the gut trick. Upon my settling my 240 lb. on his back, decided he needed to relieve himself. The instructor started yelling to make him quit. Hey you got to go, you got to go. I'm still not sure how or why you should make a horse control their bodily functions. Heck I couldn't even keep them out form under the clotheslines. Besides I'm into hogs these days. Hedgehogs that is. Let the good times roll. Richard... Pat Oneal wrote: > > Richard, > Your childhood is totally different to mine. I'm fascinated with the > various stories from others.
