You just never know when those old articles will come in handy. Many many years ago, there was a barn fire at our old fairgrounds. I had saved the clippings. It was front page news because two people had died in the fire. They were caretakers for the many Standardbred horses stabled there. 21 horses died also.

When my 4-H club had a booth at the fair, about 10 or so years later, I posted the old clippings. It was a booth about barn safety. So, many people came by and stated that they remember that fire.

I was going to mention before how much I like Harley's cute little ears. My Appaloosa had big ears, and people made fun of him. I always said "you don't ride the ears"..lol

LOL:)

It's funny, I've noticed that ears are something a lot of people notice on horses, any horse. I swear Rusty had nice shaped ears, but lordy they were long:). When I first got him and he was so under weight, he looked like a donkey.

I guess because ears on horses are just so visible is why they are noticed so much, but your right, they shouldn't be a factor if the horse is a good riding one:)
