BUT, I just love your life and your posts, it's so different than my way of living. I had no idea that cows would "bow" to horses this way, and stay away if you go underneath the horse. Your dad sounds so interesting, how did he figure this out? It's such a different world from mine, I love these life lessons. If I ever find myself in a field, with a cow, I will hope there is a friendly horse nearby so that I can hide under him!
