Right ma'am or maybe you can lead a horse to water and you know the rest. At any rate, don't guess it serves much purpose to talk about it. We're all exhausted by it. Just hope everyone stays safe, but I imagine that we will. Our age group seems to be the one that takes it the most seriously. I for one am ready to take a trip somewhere and almost anywhere will do that I can drive. Will not be getting on any planes even if I do relish flying. Might go down to see my Brother in Fairhope, Alabama. I think some sea food is beckoning to me. We were just talking the other night about the Cajun culture not just being confined to South Louisiana, but also Texas and Mississippi and Alabama. Those folks know how to do sea food right.

I don't know whether I mentioned this before or not, at my age, I can't remember what I had for dinner last night, but I watched this show on Netflix called Heartland which was all about horses of just about every breed and situation. Episodes were about rodeo horses, jumpers, show horses, hunters, wild horses, draft horses, race horses, etc. Most of the episodes were about horses that presented problem behavior and I think there was an episode about a horse that was afraid of water. Series was on TV in Canada, I think for 13 years. It was filmed somewhere in Southern Alberta.

Being originally bred in the desert
Arabians have a DNA Propensity for avoiding water

Many is the time I have been on a trail
and there is a puddle up ahead

Knowing what to expect I try to relax
And if there is any way of going around it I will ~ but if not

Always expect the UNexpected and hold on tight to the Saddle Horn!

Cal, perhaps 10 or 12 years ago our small contest group had two players from Alberta, delightful ladies who used the screen names Leslie and Dapplehorse. Leslie and her husband operated a ranch in Southern Alberta and her daughter Dapplehorse graduated from a very well respected university in Alberta and became a thoroughbred trainer at Stampede Park. I think she once mentioned that her brother was a rodeo rider.

Real pretty scenery where the series was shot in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies. Makes you want to go up there and visit, but I think they are in the frying pan now and much cooler in Central Arkansas now, if you can imagine that. If you have Netflix, I recommend. Human interactions in the series not Emmy worthy(does Canadian TV qualify for Emmys?), but entertaining enough. I enjoyed it, but very long with 13 seasons. As I said, it's all things horses.
