Horsie!
So my friend Dave has a horse named Damascus. Dave lives an hour away from me, but boards Damascus 15 minutes away from me. And Damascus needs lots of training. He's an adult who doesn't know any words.
Solution: I visit Damascus on every weekday that I can, with a lesson plan designed by my mom, who used to give riding lessons at a dude ranch when she was a kid. Dave has approved the plan.
First day is Wednesday, when I will fully tack him up and then just walk him around the ring, saying "Walk" over and over until he knows to walk when he hears that word. That will probably take at least a few lessons.
So what we have here is a horse that I can ride, for free, whenever I want, and it will be me doing his owner a favor, not the other way around.
I love my life here.

Also, hell, they were not kidding about the new LJ layout being weird and too minimalist.
