Slower than molasses in January...

Just how slow is Pete?

On Saturday, we got passed by a dachshund.

A Pun from Peter

Which patron saint do horses pray to?

Saint Thomas Equinas.

(Ba dum bum ching!)

Thanks, Peter.

(The pic above is of the barn's very own Thomas, the tallest horse in Philadelphia. Tom is a 19hh Belgian gelding.)

Like a racehorse...

In honor of tomorrow's Belmont Stakes, I found this column on Slate today. Apparently racehorses pee 1.5 to 2 gallons a day. And Clydesdales pee more. (I could have told y'all that, having seen some of the draft horses around the barn down a five gallon bucket of water, and then having sat through not one, but TWO cycles of a traffic light waiting for Bud to finish up.)

Trump's favorite place is in front of Signer Park.

Many of the carriage horses participate in the long history of public urination outside of the Powel House (Samuel Powel and his wife Elizabeth were famous for their parties there...).

See? I AM famous in Asia.

Or at least in cyberspace on flickr. One of my fares mslalowe took this photo May 8. I'm on 4th St. driving Spot the Wonder Horse (who didn't make it into the picture).
