horse latitudes

today is the dressage competition, stanley.
that's exciting, edna. are you ready for it?
oh yes, and lord fauntleroy III is ready too.
he is such a nice horse, isn't he?
worth every penny we paid for him, I think.
and that was a lot of pennies. a veritable ton of them.
yes. hah hah.
hah hah. well, put him through his paces, edna.
I will stanley. will you be there?
I think not. I have to fire several of the servants today. cut backs, you know.
I suppose some sacrifice is necessary in this economy. but none of my grooms, I hope!
their jobs are safe, for now, edna.
thank goodness. horses are so much work.
you are a brave soul, dear.
that's what my polo instructor says too.
indeed.
