Now that gave me quite a laugh this morning... It seems like alot of my 
conditioning rides go like that. Dodging traffic, dealing with yapping dogs 
and Rednecks who have to stop me to ask "Is that an A-Rab? He shhure is 
purrdee." then laughing at the expression of awe on their faces when I tell 
them he is getting ready for a 30 mile ride. And then those d___ cows. We 
finally took Dancer to my parents so he could see cows up close and MAYBE get 
over his fear. We went out into the pasture with these cows when a young bull 
decided to investigate the "two-headed" monster. Dancer tucked is tail and 
bolted which made for a hilarious picture as this horse goes running by being 
chased by a baby bull... Needless to say he is still scared of cows but 18 
wheeler, tractors, bikers, UPS trucks are not... go figure
