Another horse owner!
Here's my gal and our guy, Newton's Law. We call him Isaac.
He's 17.3 tall. Big boy.
Racers think their hobby is expensive... Horses make cars look stupid cheap.
He's a cutie-pie, thoroughbred?
Selle Francais or something like that. European warmblood is the faster way of saying it.

Ah, I know what a Selle Francais is. Galoubet was a famous one, a great jumper. They've got french trotter in them. 17.3 is a realllllly big boy!

I've often heard a simile comparing part of me to a horse, but modestly prevents me from disclosing it here.
Mrs. RMD and I were walking through the horse barn at the State Fair, a few years ago. Went past one that was relieving himself. My city-girl wife shrieked, "OMG, what's that?!"
"That's nothing, honey."

Hey Keith, you're wrong... check it out. Just picked up a little extra horsepower.
His name, believe it or not... is Superbee.
"just" picked up? Looks like summer's come a bit late this year. Lotta snow for June, even for Canada.

He's a real character. Belongs to two little girls who used to show him til they grew too big for him.
My dad had a palomino. I had to clean up after it. Berkeley horses.
