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.
