So. Funny.

Maybe you have to be a horse person to see why this is so funny, but I laughed so hard at this, it brought tears to my eyes. I was reading a forum and came across this post:

"Saturday my horse was acting very fresh and naughty around the barn. Instinctively, as I left the cross ties to ride, I grabbed a dressage whip, which I rarely use. I led him into the arena and was turning to close the gate behind me when, out of the corner of my eye, I see him toss his head and begin to play up (which generally involves half-rearing at me, then dashing away as he aims a half hearted kick). I nonchalantly applied the whip across his chest to let him know he had pushed it far enough, and he was so suprised he let out a HUGE fart. Then put all his feet on the floor, and followed meekly to the mounting block."
