HORSE SHOWERING IN SPRINKLER
This fun-loving 24 year-young horse loves
to shower in the sprinkler on hot days.
Who said horses weren't smart?
Hey Horse in the Sprinkler Video!
Can I play in the water, too?
Pull-llllleeeeeease!
You Know You're a Horseperson When...
You lean forward when your car goes over speed bumps
You yell at the kids (or your dog) and your horse's name pops out
"Stopping by the stable" takes a minimum of two hours
You find hay in your bathrobe
You know more about your horse's ancestry than your own
After it snows, the first thing that gets shoveled is the path to the manure pile
You spend hundreds of dollars to compete in a horse show for a 98-cent ribbon
