1) Please keep all pets on a leash.
2) Please clean up after those pets that aren't quite paper trained.
3) Gerbils are not good pets. It's a long story

Thank you and let the games begin.

    HOW someone sits a horse has a lot to do with whether or not a horse can carry them easily. I knew a retired cop that had to be pushing if not at 300. He rode extremely well. My 1200 lb appaloosa had no trouble going up hills or even running with him. I've seen 150 lb riders bouncing around like a burlap sack of bowling balls tied to the saddle horn. I wouldn't let one of them on a horse if I still owned one.

      yeah
      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        At least you have the satisfaction of knowing that he/she was plenty sore the next morning from the beating that they took.

        I'm always still in trouble again
