OK so the title of this post isn't that clever. Today, I experienced yet another thing "Texan" as I watched my friend Claire work out with her horse. What I realized by seeing this activity up close for the very first time in my life, (you just don't see that many horses in Manhattan except for cops and carriages), is that the rider actually works hard as well. Actually, the horse looked quite fine and when his exercise was over, he was treated to a nice cool rinse, lather and full bath and drying. Not bad.
So, for some of you who may be used to these creatures this post is no big deal. To me, it was a big deal. In addition to my observations of everything "horse related" I was taken by the serine environment of the stables themselves. Of course, the polo grounds adjacent to the stable area was also very impressive.
So, am I still a bit weary of horses, you bet but I do have a new appreciation for horses and the people who work with them.
