A Horse is a Horse

For one reason or another, some young girls are obsessed with horses. Many become fascinated at 6 or 7 years and it continues into adulthood. Horses are not only intimidating because of their size, huge teeth and swishy tails, but they're expensive and labor intensive. They need to be fed special diets, curried, hooves picked, exercised, bathed, etc, etc,etc. The attraction must be the control over this large beast---turn left, turn right, cantor, jump that fence. Hey, maybe they're just practicing for marriage!
