    When you are tense, let me teach you to relax.<\/span><\/div>\n
    When you are short sighted, let me teach you to see.<\/span><\/div>\n
    When you are short tempered, let me teach you to be patient.<\/span><\/div>\n
    When you are quick to react, let me teach you to be thoughtful.<\/span><\/div>\n
    When you are angry, let me teach you to be serene.<\/span><\/div>\n
    When you feel superior, let me teach you to be respectful.<\/span><\/div>\n
    When you are self-absorbed, let me teach you to think of greater things.<\/span><\/div>\n
    When you are arrogant, let me teach you humility.<\/span><\/div>\n
    When you are lonely, let me be your companion.<\/span><\/div>\n
    When you are tired, let me carry the load.<\/span><\/div>\n
    When you need to learn, let me teach you.<\/span><\/div>\n
    After all, I am your horse.<\/span><\/div>\n
    \u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
    And now for the True Story….<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
    When you are tense, <\/span>let me teach you that there are dragons in the forest & we need to leave NOW!<\/span><\/div>\n
    When you are short sighted, let me teach you to figure out where exactly in the 40 acres I am hiding.<\/span><\/div>\n
    When you are short tempered, let me teach you how to slog around the pasture for an hour before you can catch me.<\/span><\/div>\n
    When you are quick to react, let me teach you that herbivores kick MUCH faster that omnivores.<\/span><\/div>\n
    When you are angry, let me teach you how well I can stand on my hind feet, because I don’t FEEL like cantering on my right lead today, that’s why.<\/span><\/div>\n
    When you are worried, let me entertain you with my mystery lameness, GI complaint & skin disease.<\/span><\/div>\n
    When you feel superior, let me teach you that, mostly, you are the maid service.<\/span><\/div>\n
    When you are self-absorbed, let me teach you to PAY ATTENTION.\u00a0 I told you about those dragons in the forest.<\/span><\/div>\n
    When you are arrogant, let me teach you what 1,200 lbs of yipee-yahoo-gotta-go horse can do when suitably inspired.<\/span><\/div>\n
    When you are lonely, let me be your companion. Let’s do lunch.\u00a0 Breakfast & dinner sound good, too.<\/span><\/div>\n
    When you are tired, don’t forget about the 600 lbs of grain that needs to be unloaded.<\/span><\/div>\n
    When you are feeling financially secure, let me teach you the meaning of “veterinary services.”<\/span><\/div>\n
    When you need to learn, hang around the barn, Bud, I’ll learn ya \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
