Quotable Sunday, with the Preakness yesterday. and being one of those "horse people"..well .. Horse Quotes..!


I love the Sunday Quotable Quotes, sponsored by our lovely Toni!


Because I am one of those "horsey" folk, and well...yesterday was the 2nd leg of the Triple Crown.. how appropriate to have horse related quotes!

So here you go!




There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man. ~Winston Churchill


Horse sense is the thing a horse has which keeps it from betting on people. ~W.C. Fields


Riding: The art of keeping a horse between you and the ground. ~Author Unknown


It is not enough for a man to know how to ride; he must know how to fall. ~Mexican Proverb


The wagon rests in winter, the sleigh in summer, the horse never. ~Yiddish Proverb


Many people have sighed for the 'good old days' and regretted the 'passing of the horse,' but today, when only those who like horses own them, it is a far better time for horses. ~C.W. Anderson


No hour of life is wasted that is spent in the saddle. ~Winston Churchill


People on horses look better than they are. People in cars look worse than they are. ~Marya Mannes


Horses and children, I often think, have a lot of the good sense there is in the world. ~Josephine Demott Robinson


It's always been and always will be the same in the world: The horse does the work and the coachman is tipped. ~Author Unknown


Heaven is high and earth wide. If you ride three feet higher above the ground than other men, you will know what that means. ~Rudolf C. Binding


He knows when you're happy
He knows when you're comfortable
He knows when you're confident
And he always knows when you have carrots.

  2. He knows when you're happy
    He knows when you're comfortable
    He knows when you're confident
    And he always knows when you have carrots-- That one is sweet -- sounds like my puppy!
