I imagined tethering our horses to the hitching rail while we sat in the beer garden, smashing a few sherbets and generally relishing how wonderful life was.

However, again… I failed to take into account my actual skills or appreciate that the horse that I owned was not, in fact the same version I saw in my daydreams.

Shots on the bar? Yes please 😎
