Well, if you read my recent entry, you know I'm losing weight, 10 lbs so far. But did you know I'm doing it for the horses? Riley will be grateful to carry a lighter load, but Harvey is harder to please (he's hoping I'll return to my birth weight). Anyway, here are some dieting success secrets for equestrians. I guarantee you'll never find this advice in a diet book. Here goes...
The BTB 7 rules of dieting
#1. Steam is a food group.
#2. Carrots are your friend.
#3. Steamed carrots are the double whammy of dieting.
#4. Buy extra for the horses. And don't eat them all on the way to the barn.
#5. Carrot cake is only for birthdays. Your horse's birthday.
#6. You don't have "yellow skin," you have a "beta-kerotine glow."
#7. Yoplait yogurts come in 61 flavors, but none of them is carrot cake. Write them and suggest it!
Something semi-serious...
Here's an interesting formula for calculating the ideal weight for your horse to carry.
