Horses are generally a useless species compared to mules. To them, everything is a fracas. They don’t even know what the word means. They’re basically illiterate. and after one of their fracuses there’s always a horse or two down. A lot of mules refuse to help rescue them saying that any animal that can get cast in their own stall is beyond help. I’m not quite that diehard, since my mom was a horse.
 
Thank you Scatman. Had a couple physical challenges this year - herniated myself over the winter and then injured my left knee in the Grand Canyon early April. Now I’m in Houston working 90+hr weeks in the disaster inspection twilight zone. Managed to get a nice little 5 night fishing hike just before going to work though.
