<<Watched my horse run away up a busy street and disappear around a corner only to watch seconds later as the horse came back around the corner followed closely by a city bus.>>

 

I'm sorry...I shouldn't laugh...but this one just paints a hilarious picture in my mind!  It's like a cartoon!

I'm in the process of having my heating and AC system replaced and they're relocating the AC condenser.  I've heard nothing but horror stories about what happens when the system isn't installed properly and it's got my stomach in an uproar.  I haven't been this nervous since I first started teaching and entered a classroom filled with first graders.  Now all I can think of is doom and gloom.  So, what better way to pick up my spirits than talk about horses.  But since I still have feelings about doom and gloom I thought I'd give a listing of some of the boners I've pulled over the past 47 years and see how many of you can top them.

Started to drive off and realized the horse was still tied to the outside of the trailer.  Taught my horse to turn and face me whenever I said whoa and when she was doing as taught on a narrow trail while I was behind her she wound up falling over the edge into a deep ravine.  Got my horse stuck in quicksand.  Had my horse standing on the lawn waiting to be shod and have the sprinklers come on right underneath her (she wound up jumping onto the shoer and his tool stand).  Watched my horse run away up a busy street and disappear around a corner only to watch seconds later as the horse came back around the corner followed closely by a city bus.  Tied my horse to a fence rail and watched as he pulled the fence after him on his way home.  Had a horse step on a nail out in the pasture and after several weeks in the barn turned same horse back into the pasture without checking for more nails and have the horse step on another nail two days later.  Approached a skittish pony from the rear and basically was laid out flat, face first, in the pee pile.  Insisted I knew the directions to a ride and wound up lost.  The biggest boner of them all was passing up on a nice weekend at home with my horse and instead went camping in the snow!

OK.  Those are my big boners.  There are hundreds of little boners, but that should get the ball rolling.
