Sound familiar? The stallion
Animals aren’t quite as dumb as we may think them to be. No sir. Take for instance, the fine Arabian stallion that my first boss owned.

Why, that horse thought he was the prettiest darn critter that ever lived. I watched him one day when he thought no one was around.

He was showing off to all the fine “lady” horses in the surrounding paddocks. He was prancing and dancing like some lovesick girl. What a showoff.

He got so enthusiastic, that he started galloping round and round his paddock. What a sight. Rich bay coat glistening in the sunshine. Black mane and tail whipped in the wind created by his speed.

Every so often, he would slide to a stop, spin around and with a squeal, he’d race off in the opposite direction.

On one of those fast laps, he lost his footing and all four legs shot out from under him. With a thump, he landed flat on his side and slid across the grass.

You should have seen the look on that horse’s face. I nearly cracked up with laughter.

What did that horse do?

Well, he sat up and looked around. The mares were watching him and I think he also saw me.

That stallion shook himself, then lay down and rolled around in the dirt. After a few moments, he got up, looked around again then lay down for another few rolls.

When he got to his feet, he shook himself and walked off to the far end of the paddock to eat grass like nothing had happened.

I shook my head. A cover up? Men, they are all alike!

Happy Valentines Day.
