Sunday, April 20, 2003 Pretty pretty pretty
The drive to school is a pain in my butt because it's soo long, but now that it's getting to be really and incontrovertibly Spring, it almost feels like it's something I do for fun.
It makes me wish that I had some nice little children to tote around, because I pass so many things that are appealing to kids. One stretch has a tractor store, than a horse farm, than some fields covered with dandielions, and then more farms, some of which have shit like a trotting race track and mini horses. I never stop, because that would spoil it. Also, I'm kind freaked out by mini horses. A girl I used to go to school with trained them, and she told a really hair-raising story about a rogue mini.
Yeah, I giggled, too.
But this one was truly bad. When she tried to train it, it bit her hand and wouldn't let go. She was about 5'11, but it managed to pull her to the ground and drag her around the paddock. She had to get all kinds of surgery.
"That mini horse has gone rogue," she told the barn owners. "You should have it destroyed." They refused, but they promised her they would keep it for the rest of its natural life or have it put down rather than selling it to anyone unsuspecting.
Well.
She ended up having a falling-out with that barn, and she only learned the whole terrible story after it was much too late.
It seems the unscrupulous barn owners hit hard times, financially. They sold a lot of horses, and in order to have some much needed tax write-offs, theyd onated others to various organizations ("Hello, Goodwill? I have something for you, but it won't fit in the drop box.") Among the horses they gave away was the rogue mini.
They donated it to a petting zoo. Not three days later, a group of handicpaped children was visiting, and the terrible little horse ripped a little boy's arm off This kid already had to use a freakin' wheelchair, but these terrible people exposed him to a dangerous animal.
They probably didn't take it seriously, merely because the idea is so hilarious. Well ha freakin' ha. I bet that poor kid can only go in circles now.
Happy fucking Easter. posted by Frenz | 4/20/2003 01:15:00 PM
