Today on my show I talked all things horses. Well… I got as far as laughing a lot at horse names and finally discovering what Camp Drafting was – it’s a wild sport from the west.

Personally, I find horses intimidating and odd. Majestic, sure. But when they neigh – their majesty sort of disappears. Example below:
Something I do love about horses is the bizarre names they’re given. I’ve been told by reliable source (Peter Thompson) that there are many factors that are taken into account when coming up with a name for a horse. Many horse breeders out there will chew your ear off if you let them get going into why the chose a certain name.
One important rule to remember if you ever buy a horse: you can’t change a horses name once it has already been named at birth. It’s very bad luck.
