Horse humor – add jokes for us all to enjoy
Pro Equine Grooms did a fun feature (apparently four years ago, but I just saw the repost recently) with a starter question “What’s your best bad joke about horses?” Liv Gude offered her horse humor – “A horse walks into a bar.

Good young horse training people aren’t parrots
Genetic wiring, prior experiences, personality styles and horse proclivities all play a role in designing an effective strategy to build a partnership with the horse. If you’re not keeping your horse in the conversation, you’re losing opportunities to bond on a much deeper level.

Horse Seller’s Terms – a translation list to make you laugh out loud
