Weather forcasting for horse owners.  I think this will give ya all a 
chuckle.

            The Top 10 ways to use a horse as a weather gauge:



      10. You're walking across the pasture and run smack-dab into a 
Shetland pony - heavy fog in low-lying areas.

      9. The horse swishes his tail and knocks you unconscious - icy 
conditions.

      8. A 14-hand horse appears to be about 16 hands tall - snow with 
possible accumulation up to 8 inches.

      7. The ground looks wet but the hoofprints are dry - very light 
showers.

      6. Your horse bites and kicks you - well, that really just means you 
were an idiot for buying him.

      5. The horse looks hungry because his big round bale floated away - 
possible flooding in some areas.

      4. Your sorrel horse has turned roan - snowfall with little or no 
accumulation.

      3. He's slow to leave the hedge row even though you're rattling the 
feed bucket - excessive heat warning.

      2. The horse is hanging onto the fence with his teeth - blustery winds 
(or you've got a cribber).

      1. The front half of the horse is wet and the back half is dry - 
isolated showers.
