Who Can Open the Gate ? Profile of Breeds!
This story takes place in a big pasture, filled with all different kinds of horses. A question has just been asked amid the herd: "Who can open the gate?" Here's what they say ...
Lipizzaner: "No need for opening it! When are you all going to learn how to fly?!"
Thoroughbred: "Let's wait for the gate to open - when the bell rings!"
Paint: "Yeah, what he said! Na na na na na na!
Arabian: "You'll have to get somebody else to do it. My nails aren't dry!"
Quarter Horse: "Maybe if I push on it with my hindquarters, I could open it?"
Standardbred: "Pity on all of you. I'll figure it out. Just give me some time."
Polo Pony: "Wait a minute ... let me get my stick and give it a few whacks."
Shetland Pony: "Let me at it! I'll break the stupid thing and then you all can get outta my face."
Mules: "Oh, let's just pack it in and call it a day."
Saddlebred: "Now, now. I'll open it, if someone could help me with my shoes!"
Friesian: "I'll do it! But do you think it will mess up my hair?"
Mustang: "What's a gate?"
Belgian: "Step back! You all aren't strong enough to do it. I'll do it. Oh, but what if I break it?"
Morgan: "There, there. I'll do it for you. No need to have such a big fit. Peace be with all of you. Is there anything else I could do for you after I get done with the gate?"
Appaloosa: "Oh, hush all of you! Ya big bunch of sissies. No one is leaving 'till I say so."
Percheron: "I already opened the gate while you all have been arguing! I even went down the next row and opened all the other gates. So it'll be a while before I have to listen to all of you argue again!"
