A New Years Resolution From The Horse's POV

I will not treat my stall like a litter box. I will pee and poop outside whenever possible.

I will not tip over the wheelbarrow while you are filling it with manure, even if I think it’s funny.

I CAN walk and poop at the same time. I can, I can, I can.    

I will NOT stop and poop or urinate every time I pass the same spot in the arena.I 

I will NOT leave when my rider falls off.

I will NOT walk faster on the way home than I did on the way out.
I won’t spook at nonexistent scary things, even though it gets a great reaction from you.

I won’t flip out when my pasture buddy goes off in a trailer, even when I know he’ll be back soon.

I will NOT pull my new shoes off the very next day just to prove that I can.

I am neither a beaver nor a carpenter. I promise I won't eat or remodel the barn or the new fences.

I WILL forgive my human for the very bad haircut, even though I look like a freak.

I accept that not every carrot is for me.

I will not nibble the farrier’s ears or bite his but just because its there.

I will let the vet give me my shots without making like it freaks me out.

I will not tip over the big water bucket in the pasture just because I can.

I will not stomp on the salt block, breaking it into unlickable pieces.

I will not trot away when I see you come towards me with a halter. I want to play, really I do.

I will not pretend I have never seen a barrel pattern (jump, gate, etc.) in my life.

I will swallow wormer without objection and without getting any of it on myself or you.

 

I will get under you when you lose your seat, instead of seizing the opportunity to dump you in the dirt.

I will not blow up like a balloon when you cinch my girth.

I will NOT bite the butt of the horse in front of me during the trail ride just to say "Hi".

I WILL put my ears forward and cooperate when it comes to photos.
