Hey kid,
First of all, let me make it clear that if you run more than a quarter
mile, you're one of them sissy boys. Second, if you're over 15.2 hands
high you're not worth a shit either. Finally, don't let 'em talk you
into "retiring" as a hunter/jumper horse--it's a scam. You work just as
hard with a lot less grain and you have to go around in a circle and
jump little pieces of wood with pink flowers. Any horse dumb enough to
jump 'em instead of going around 'em deserves to have his mane braided
up like a fairy princess and paraded around with a little bratty kid on
his back. Words to live by kid.

Hi
Just a little advice: point your toes and keep your knees
real flat when
you trot, and make sure that red headed lady Peggy sees
you trot like
that and she'll take you home and make you a show horse.
Worked for me!
Beats racing.... I have women kissing and hugging and
making over me 24
hours a day, 7 days a week. You can even be a little
naughty at first,
but when you jump snap your knees up really high and
Peggy will make
sure you never see the inside of a starting gate ever
again.
Trust me on this....

Hi Marion's Man,
My name is Devil's Manner and my dad is Devil Be Gone. He was fast. But
he was mean. I'm just four years old and I don't have to race ever
again. I started to limp a little on my right front, and I just kept it
up whenever they breezed me. And when they were teaching me how to go
out the starting gate, I broke and turned sharp left. They didn't want
to keep me around for long, so I ended up at really cool hunter/jumper
barn with a nice lady who only rides me three times a week and little
girls who take me out on trail rides and I have a big stall and paddock
and lots of fun. So my advice is to start limping right away, and you
won't ever have to live in a tiny stall or run those awful races ever
again. Bucking off the bug boys is also a good way to get a bad
reputation. Just think about it....

Hello Marian's Man,
Do they know you'd rather be called Ryan, which is part of your name
anyway and much more manly.....Anyway, from one race horse to another,
keep in mind that the trash talk you hear in the starting gate is just
that--talk. Don't even listen to it, kid. And winning might be tough,
but they treat you better when you win, so work at that. Also, remember
if you change your lead just before you enter the turns, you won't lose
any ground being bent the wrong way. And if you win enough like me (I
won twelve races for over $150,000 total, so I know of what I speak)
you'll get retired to a really nice place. I've even heard there's a
posh place in El Paso, Illinois, where you get treated like a show
horse--can you believe that? So be good and you might end up there, I
think it's called River Wood Farm. The lady that runs it is a little
pushy, but she takes good care of her horses. Good luck, son.
