U is for Undoing the Untouched Utility of New Tack
Unused horse items lose their polish and durability for the
first three uses. New halters break. Equine blankets rip. Bridles snap. And new splint boots or polo wraps attract extra mud.
Curiously, dingy old horse tack and apparel seems to hold up
remarkably well.
Uncanny!
The Mane Point is participating
again in the April A to Z blogging challenge, posting daily with alphabetical
entries.
For this year's A-Z event, a
month of posts will offer Turfy’s A-Z
Rules of Horsemanship, with all due apologies to the original Murphy of
Murphy’s Law, which basically said,
"If anything can go wrong, it probably will."
Horse lovers may have heard some
of these uncannily true, yet often ironic, statements in various forms in the
past. Or not.

SIL is a horse person, must try to remember to tell her about your blog. Is the horse in the photo one of those tiny horses? It looks like it.
