Horses

It is getting near Breeders Cup time when all of the really wonderful race horses come together for a big payoff and a super day of racing. For the first time, the girls will have their day and the boys will have their day. There are a few girls that have opted to enter the boys playgound, but for the most part they are staying with their gender races. Note that none of the boys are allowed to play with the girls, even if they don't mind being called sissy.
Wonder if they have been told about equal rights? True, some are opting to compete with the boys and it will be on the same set of rules, but for the most part, the owners are happy to let the girls be girls.
Horses are magnificent creatures. They have the most interesting eyes, truly a window into their souls. Some are gentle and loving and like people and some are mean and hateful and don't like anyone, not even themselves. But the mean ones, they usually pick out some person they tolerate...I guess they are forced to do that so they can be sure of food and care. It seems they usually pick a helpless person, though, so they are still the dominate one.
They are very much like people. The youngsters are like children and as they mature they become truculent teenagers and then mellow out into adults. Predictable and steady.
Let the girls have their day and celebrate it. I wonder if our girls don't miss some of that pampering and gentleness that came with being a girl in a guys world. I am all for girls rights, but it is nice to have a door opened and a comforting arm when things are bad.
Go girls...I think I will take the day off to watch and then work on the boys day to make it up.
Girls Rule!!!
