Crystal and Cookie

written by Yours Truly, Crystal… after a life with both.

~  No horse (man) has everything.  You have to decide what you can live with.

~  Don’t expect your horse (men) to be remorseful after letting you down.  Their ability to emotionally reason is limited.  You’re better off if you learn this early.

~  Be wary of agents trying to set you up with a horse (man).  If he’s so great, why aren’t they riding him?

~  Not every horse (man) has to be a life time commitment.  Some are just there for a good time.  Decide who is what, and accept them for what they are.  Don’t waste time with assholes.

~  You have to know when to dig your spur in and when to use a less aggressive approach.

~  There are diamonds in the rough.  With the right training and good attitude, any horse (man) can move up in the hack.

~  Horses (men) are always happy to eat.  Delaying mealtime to suit your needs only makes a horse (man) cranky.

~  Stallions (men) like to puff up around pretty mares, but a quick reality check usually puts them back in line.

~  Don’t be swayed by fancy bloodlines and chrome.  Most often, the reliable horses (men) are the simple, salt-of-the-earth type.

~  No matter the circumstances, getting dumped sucks.
