That’s a horrible thought.

Half a horse??

Just a leg. But he will let you pull it!

Are you certain it’s a boy?

If it’s 1/4 horse, what are the other 3/4? ;-)

well lets hope the new kid down the street really wants to make friends, who knows, he (or she) may be a loner

Thank you, Joe Allen Doty.

I knew (as you do) what quarterhorse meant as a lifetime lover of the racetrack,

I was getting a kick out of people thinking it really meant 1/4 of a horse though.

Have to love the logic of kids sometimes.

and i thought it was another name for a miniature horse!

I can’t believe no one has tied this to the Kentucky state quarter - the one with the horse. The quarter horse.

I thought a quarterhorse was one of those coin-operated guys outside the supermarket. In my dad’s day, they were nickelhorses, but nowadays they’re probably buck-and-a-quarterhorses.

Either way, a quarterhorse simply isn’t an option if you lack quarters for it…

In the old days, cavalry officers would ride thoroughbreds, but quarterhorses were provided for the quarterstaff.

Quarterhorses aren’t in demand for rodeos, because it takes four of them to get one buck.

If you could harness energy into one quarterhorsepower, that would be a very low charge.

Speaking of harnesses, quarterhorses are also more expensive to outfit because (drum roll) you need TWO BITS!

Thank you! I’m here all week. Don’t forget to tip your waitresses, they work hard.

These days, with inflation, it’s a buck and a quarter horse.

LOL fritzoid! Very good.

I hope a quarter horse isn’t the horse’s head from “Godfather”

I’ll give him an offer he cant refuse! (Said with marbles in mouth, mumble, mumble.)

I’ve seen tiny horse breeds, they are the size of a dog. So it could be possible that the new kid has a pony. LOL
