THE OLD HORSE TRADER: — 4 Comments

  1. I love Verne's stories. You must have had a great time interviewing him, I bet he kept you in stitches!

    BTW, I missed your posts. Hope all is okay.

  2. I have heard the when racing, the jockey is "deep" into the horses mouth, so pulling back on the bit tells the horse "I have found my seat, so LETS GO!" If I pull on the reins, I really, really want them to stop. I have an image in my mind of me bug-eyed on the back of a runaway horse shrieking like a little girl with both fists wrapped around the reins, and the horse trying to tell me "Jeeze buddy, I'm going as fast as I can!"
    Think I'll keep off the off track thoroughbred horses, my ego couldn't take it.

  3. I have heard THAT when racing…
    I think I'll buy bifocals when I grow up, so I can proof read.
