  I feel like you could describe the psyche of horses with the sentiment in the phrase:

  “But for the grace of God, go I.”

  Just a bunch of beautiful dumb bastards who are uncommonly good at ‘run away really fast’.

    Yep, one my horses sister drown herself in 3 foot of water(shallow pond)…we couldn’t figure out how since we didn’t know her sister and was told the story by the previous owner. That was until we brought her to one of the deeper creeks on the farm…the second the water got to her chest, she would plung her entire face in and try to swim underwater. Come up and be half water logged get some air and do it again. Needless to say that’s how we figured out her sister probably was rolling around in the pond, and literally asphyxiated herself via breathing in water enough that she probably passed out and drown.

    I love that horse, but she’s working with two braincells at best.

      Oh jesus christ…

      That’s genuinely awful.

      Ok, now that I’ve worked through that mental image…

      Ahem.

      "… In the arms of an angel…"
