musings for a cold and blustery day

[kigerfan]

1. When carrying hay, one must not also be carrying an open waterbottle as more hay than one might imagine will find it's way into the water bottle making the contents a might bit less desirable.

2. When fighting a mustang for control of a flattened water bottle, one must clear their schedule of other duties as only patience and perserverance (sp) will ensure that you, not the mustang, will end up in possession of said item.

3. What ever toys you purchase for your horse will, in all likelyhood, be enjoyed by all the surrounding horses, while you're horse will idley turn his or her nose up at it.

4. When cleaning out an oblong watering trough, be sure your mustang is otherwise engaged, otherwise you might end up taking an unplanned bath courtesy of your sweet innocent mustang burying his or her nose eye deep in the trough shovelling high quantities of cold wet stuff in your general direction in the name of fun.

5. If you are using your pitchfork and it suddenly has a mind of it's own, if you turn and look, you will find the mind is securely attached by a set of strong teeth backed up by a pair of very bright shiney mischeviously amused eyes.

It sounds as though you have a Kiger!
You just might have a Kiger if:
. The horse tries to steal your tools and attempts to use them.
Might also be a donkey.
. Must oversee all projects.
. They wait until the wheelbarrow is full and then flips it so that
it can be filled an extra time, then runs off in glee.
. Comes and leaves you a fresh pile in the area just completed,
lest the fun end too soon.
. Stands over the next pile about to be scooped up, in a bid for
more attention.
. Snatches your hat.
. Nip Tag. This game requires excellent behavior on part of the
horse so that he will be allowed into your space. When least
expected nip and run with gusto having score an ultimate no-
no.
. Your PMS mare isn't in the mood so she allows you to
approach using the your most expert advance retreat method,
then bolts and turns her head and flips it simultaneously with
the tail in the equivelent of being flipped off, horsey style.
. Play the drums on an overturned trough when becoming
impatient.

I have tons of quips and horsey jokes thanks to Firefly. She's quite a jokester.

Things I have learned numer six....
If you go into a Kiger's stall with one hand outstretched with one goody and a hand behind you with multiple goodies, expect said Kiger to scoot around behind you for the multiple items, returning for the one outstretched item only after the multitude are gone.

number seven.....
"Those are MY carrots .. what the HECK do you think YOU'RE doing giving them to OTHER horses???" This calls for drastic punishment.... I'm going to ignore you so there

This one is totally unrelated to horses......
Never accidentally flick toothpaste in your eye, it stings like the mother of all beasties!
Don't ask me how I did it, I still haven't got that figured out
