As I watch Dollar, my faithful horse, amble
towards me through the pasture, it amazes me
how slowly he can move. He seems to take
deliberately small steps as he picks his way up
through the grass, making sure that no tasty green
shoot escapes his attention.
I've only called him about five minutes ago and
he has now covered about half the distance to me.
But I know, the more impatient I get, and the more
I urge him to get his body moving, the longer it will
take him to reach me.
You see, Dollar knows that we’re going riding.
He can tell a "going riding” summons from a
“come and eat” invitation, seven days a week. I
don’t know how he does it, even I can’t tell the
difference in the way I call.
Dollar firmly believes that riding is okay if you
have nothing else to do, but one shouldn't be too
overjoyed about it. Standing around in the pasture
under the old shade tree is much more exciting.
But the highlight in his day is when he gets fed.
He can be in the furtherest corner of that huge
pasture and as soon as I step into sight, it’s time
for the running of the Kentucky Derby And you
better have his feed there waiting, or the
possibility exists that he’ll keep right on coming
through the fence and help himself.
it seems a shame to me to waste ail that speed
and talent. Do you think they could devise some
horse race with a feed bucket at the finish line?
