Horsing Around
According to Ovid (9 AD), "a spirited horse, which will try to win a race of its own accord, will run even faster if encouraged." On the other hand, Ben Johnson in 1633 wrote, "spur a free horse, he'll run himself to death." I personally always preferred racing cars to riding horses, It's something about a 2000 pound beast with a mind of its own.(Apologies to my friend Lee for any anatomical inconsistencies with the horse. I'm less concerned about the humans.)

It was my happy birthday having sold our prize winning jumpers after years of feeding them and their trainers. Horseflesh so prized that the trainers would never let me ride them, just cash them. My bicycle gives me more pleasure than those horses and their ribbons ever did.
LOLOLOL, John C, a fine steed indeed that you have drawn. Great cartoon by the way. Won"t voice my opinion of horse vs. racing car, it would take too long to list all the advantages of the horse!, said with a smile.
