Just a few things I’ve learned along the trails…
- With enough Febreze you can skip showering for a couple of days.
- Cowgirls spend more on horse grooming products than on their own. But sometimes they’ll borrow their horse’s stuff (and their brushes).
- Pledge makes horses shiny and keeps the dust from sticking. Seriously.
- The best way to catch a horse is to try not to catch the horse.
- Never share your wine with your horse. They’ll try to take it from you every time.
- Don’t squat with your spurs on.
- Everything that is terrifying on the trail is a play-thing when no humans are present.
- A tired horse is a happy horse.
- A fed horse is a happy horse.
- Trust everyone, but brand all your calves.
- When you find yourself in trouble, take a deep seat and a faraway look.
- Never blame the horse.
- You can open a bottle of wine with: a hoofpick, a cowboy boot, a spur… pretty much anything other than a corkscrew.
- “Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway.” John Wayne
- Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
- A good hat can fix any bad hair days.
