Subject: Horse-a-holics Anonymous
meeting
Hello
I AM a horse-aholic. I would like to welcome all of
you to this
month's online meeting of Horse-Aholicas Anonymous. You may be
sitting there
thinking that you are OK, and don't really need any help. It is
not easy to
realize that you are a horse-aholic, and even harder to bring
yourself to an
HA meeting for help. HA is here to assist you. I have some
questions to ask
to try to determine if you can be helped.
1. Can
you say 'sheath' in public without blushing?
2. Do you know exactly what
'snaffle' means? (No, it is not a drink!)
3. Do you drive a truck with
some type of towing package and/or dual
rear wheel when
everyone else you know drives a real car?
4. Do you have more than one
type of trailer because you own horses?
5. Do you spend your hoildays
going to shows, sales, clinics,and
seminars when everyone
else goes on cruises?
6. Do you discuss things at the dinner table that
would make a
doctor leave in disgust?
7. Do you
consider formal wear clean jeans and freshly scrape boots?
8. Does the
inside of your home look like your interior decorator is
'State Line Tack'?
9. Do you often have barn boots on your front
porch?
10. Is your mail made up primarily of breed magazines and
horse
catalogs?
11. Do your shirt pockets often
contain bits of feed, hay, and empty
syringe
covers?
12. Do you worry about paying your monthly feed bill before
you
think of paying your electric bill?
13. When
you meet a person, do you ask how many horses they have,
and pity them if the answer is none?
14. Do you remember the name of a
great-great-great grandsire when
you can't remember your
own Great grandfather's name?
15. Is your primary dream in life to breed
the perfect foal?
16. Do you find non-horse people boring?
17. Is
99% of your e-mail about horses?
18. Do you have a collection of bits
even larger than your
collection of horses?
19.
Does you halter collection include more than four foal
halters,
all the same size?
20. Do you know more
than five people this list fits exactly?
If you answered YES to three
of these questions, you are in pretty
good shape. You will lead a long, dull
life, and never call your mother
and tell her "I'm in the hospital, but
everything is
fine!
The
horse is ok."
If you answered YES to 10, you are in serious
trouble. Give in
gracefully, and become a member of Horse-Aholics Anonymous
now...
You will qualify eventually anyway.
If you answered YES to 15
or more, you are incurable.
My advice to those who, like me, are
incurable is as
follows.....
Sit back, smile, read your email, and
know that your life will
always be filled with good friends and better
horses, and it will
never be boring!
