Question

Look back at our struggle for freedom,

Trace our present day's strength to it's source;

And you'll find that man's pathway to glory

Is strewn with the bones of the horse.

It takes a good deal of physical courage to ride a horse. This, however, I have. I get it at about forty cents a flask, and take it as required. ~Stephen Leacock

Feeling down? Saddle up. ~Author Unknown

A horse which stops dead just before a jump and thus propels its rider into a graceful arc provides a splendid excuse for general merriment. ~Duke of Endinburgh

Small children are convinced that ponies deserve to see the inside of the house. ~Maya Patel

In my opinion, a horse is the animal to have. Eleven-hundred pounds of raw muscle, power, grace, and sweat between your legs - it's something you just can't get from a pet hamster. ~Author Unknown

Answer 1

And let's not forget "no hoof, no horse".

Does anyone remember the one that goes something like this???

For want of a nail, the shoe was lost

For want of a shoe, the horse was lost

For want of a horse, the kingdom was lost

I think there is more to it???????

Answer 2

They are all excellent!  BUT the "Feeling down, saddle up!" is my favorite.  For decades I've always called my horse, "My shrink on four legs." so I find it VERY appropriate.

Answer 3

Answer 4

They are all very cool.

Have to admit that a couple of weeks ago we very nearly had my friend's 16.2 TB in his kitchen ( it was soooo tempting !)

-  The child who ran home weeping to you with a cut finger is now brought home smiling gamely, with a broken collar bone and incredible contusion- "it wasn't jezebels fault Dad"- Pam brown.

And

The daughter who won't lift a finger in the house is the same child who cycles off madly in the pouring rain to spend all morning muckin gout a stable. Sam Armstrong.
