Horse Haikus: WINTER IS COMING

The infamous HN haikus return…

As days get shorter, it’s all too easy to get the winter blahs. Enjoy these horsey haikus, celebrating the season riders love to hate.

Winter is here now
Indoor ring is a madhouse
Take deep breaths, deep breaths

My paddock grass gone,
a horse can still dream: sun, warmth
Sleeping in a giant salad

Equestrian style:
Ten layers, bits of hay, mud.
I call it: Derelicte.

To blanket, or not
to blanket? Horse bloggers wring
their hands online

Through sleet and snow and
rain, I’m freezing my tail off.
Invent cars already!

WEF, HITS, mild weather
Come on, lottery ticket!
Snowbird life suits me

Treasure simple things
Like summer, when it takes
simply 15 minutes to water the horses

Winter’s a good time
to teach your horse stupid tricks.
Just don’t pull something!

Fuzzy Wuzzy was a pony
Did his owner realize how much he’d get teased with a name like that?

Go Riding.
