Looking for answers

10 Sunday May 2015

Posted by Katie in Humor

≈ 2 Comments

A lot of people (maybe you?) find my blog because they’re looking for answers.

Based on the 7,242 views of my post How to space your cavaletti, people are hungering for an answer to the question of how best to use those training aids (and I’m delighted to help).

And based on the meager 20 views of my post on fence testers, people either know all about them or don’t want to know about them and don’t care if their horses walk down the street (remember to check your fences).

The “stats” page for my blog, which I glance at when I have the time and inclination, also tells me the search engine terms that lead readers to my site.  These search terms are usually what I expect (and often include the word “cavaletti”) but every once in a while, there’s a phrase — or a question — that’s totally unexpected.

Like this one:

why do horses poop in there stals in the winter

Seriously.

Seriously?

Of course, I could ask, why would my horse leave me a poop that looks just like a heart?

Seriously.

Seriously?

Improv Everywhere

If you want to see more and learn more about Improv Everywhere, go here.

If you like what you see, you might also enjoy the work of my daughter-in-kind, Margot Carr, otherwise known as Pearl the Mime.  If you’ve visited New York’s South Street Seaport in the last five years, you may have caught her performing.  Or maybe you’ve seen her in Rome…or in China, where she was part of the World Clown Festival.

Margot is a gifted comedian, singer and actress.  Her signature is a heart and you will often see her with angel wings.  Which is fitting, because she has the heart of an angel, and touches the hearts of all she meets.  Indeed, she makes magic wherever she goes.

Come meet her on her Facebook page, on her website, or see her here:

That time of year

I watch this every year, and every year it makes me smile.  There’s a Clydesdale/TB cross at a barn where I teach who is as smart as any horse in this video.  Coincidence?  I think not…
