Which colonial power are we overthrowing this time?
Today GOP stands for the Government Overthrow Party.
Maybe the safest way to mount is just to run and jump into the saddle from behind. I saw Roy Rogers do it a lot.
Reminds me of Groucho Marx when he was playing a horse doctor. He gave a pill to a sick human, telling him, "The last patient I gave this to won...
My friend's greyhound was a great pet. He always wanted to get up and lie on my friend's lap. And he loved to frolic on the beach, though he...
You mean "Slaughter at Churchill Downs" doesn't sound like a good movie to you? Of course nowadays that title could be mistaken for a mass shooting.
I had a friend who had a greyhound dog. He told me that he had rescued it, that it was going to be euthanized. (Not because of injury, apparently,...
I guess I should apologize for calling Michael Vick a sicko.
To repeat myself, I was never aware of the greyhound issue. Dog racing was one of the fartherest things from my mind. The subject of the thread is...
I never paid attention to dog racing, but if greyhounds were mistreated, it's only "libbies" who cared? Well, I guess it must have been only...
There are people in this country who want fascist government, and he's their best chance to get it. He's the Great White Dope.

Reminds me of an inexcusable error in the movie "Across the Wide Missouri." In one scene a papoose is mounted on one side of a horse. In the very...
Thanks. It's gone on so long now I guess horses expect it. They would probably freak out if you tried to mount on the right.
Since no one else will point it out, I guess I will. That Aussie comedian is full of crap when he says that raising the debt ceiling is about...
Someone (I forget who, but obviously either a creationist or a comedian) argued that horses were obviously designed for man to ride.
What looks better on camera is when it's a lady who's mounting. Sorry, I couldn't resist.
OT but something I've always wondered about in watching Western movies. Why do horses have to be mounted on the left side? Or is it just tradition...
True. And with all the sporting events that are available to watch, I don't know off hand of any, except horse racing, in which the participants...
I've ridden on a horse once and enjoyed it. But I didn't spur him, get him running as hard as he could, and tell him "Break a leg!" Besides, I...
