Poor Old Horse

[poliphilo]

I dreamed we'd been staying at my mother's and were packing up to leave. She appeared outside a window, sitting on a horse. We waved. The horse buckled at the knees and collapsed. We called in the vet.

The vet said the horse was depressed.

I said I didn't know horses could suffer from depression.

"Oh yes," he said, "Also it's hooves are hot."
