EC Question of the Week: Why Is Your Horse Leaving You?
We recently asked our readers:
Your horse is fed up with you and is leaving you! What did you do this time?
Your responses were priceless! One went like this:
I told Miss Peppa Pig she needed to go on a diet and no more cookies…
She DQ’d her last two classes
So I asked if she would like the 32oz bag or 50lbs refillable?

Jessica Parris
“Forgot” to clean her udders at bath time.
In my defense, she embarrasses me in public by lifting her leg like a dog & biting the wall the entire time.
