After a somewhat serious concussion from an unfortunate and unnecessary jumping incident I'm back in the saddle again. It's all part of the game. Ah, the smell of horse manure and the sound of satisfied geldings and mares when they realize that the oats are on the way.. It is music that a serious composer - or for that matter a fledgling and aspiring film director should do something about. Try to put into harmonic form the grunts, whinnies and shriks that fill the air in the stable at feeding time.
Or put the drama of it all into an art film.
Now why don't I know someone that could do that? And if I did, would he DARE?
By studying horses you can learn quite a bit about human behavior too, such as flock dependency and emotions like nervousness, joy, desire for control and laziness. Subsequently, this blog is about the satisfactions of horse care and the vanity of politics. The blog is also about Castor, who was a strikingly impressive, black, large and self confident horse. Good qualities for anyone, I think.
