Horse Haiku of the Day, by Kelly Hageman

Horse life in 17 syllables.

Each morning we release a fresh new horsey haiku into the Internet ether. Today’s haiku comes from reader Kelly Hageman, who explains, “This is my eventing mare, Reba. Thankfully she is very good about saving me when we get to those long spots!”

Heels down, eyes up, then OH CRAP!

Reba, take the wheel!!!
