This message is from: Larson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Often, when I'm heading to the barn, Winnie will cock her head to one side, curl her lip and bat an eye or two. Well, since I know she wants the carrot hidden in my pocket, it's stimulus response, right? Not a true smile. Except maybe for the day I spent hours grooming her to a total spit polish. I, however. was filthy from head to toe and spitting hair out of my mouth. Heading for the house, I heard a chain rattle. I turned just in time to watch my perfectly clean horse let herself out of the stall, walk into the arena and roll in the last mud puddle of the season. Then, she cocked her head to one side and curled her lip. I could have sworn I saw her sides shaking in mirth.
