Don’t Hate me Because I’m Beautiful

It’s been said, mostly by people that aren’t, that being beautiful is a curse. If this is so and who are we to doubt it, then it must cross species and affect all manners of creatures.

Horses are particularly vain. On a recent windy trip across the plains of Wyoming these members of the local herd were pushed up tight against the fence reveling in the way the breeze swept back their manes.

Suddenly this pinto mare began loudly proclaiming to her companions and any other passersby that would listen, that she knew she was beautiful and couldn’t help it, so please don’t hate her because of it. The other members of her group took in this information with mixed reactions.

After a certain interminable amount of this behavior the others began nodding their heads up and down in an agreeable way until she finally quit. Apparently having heard all this before they had figured out that this was best way to shut her up.

Some of the other horses were seen in the background whispering to each other that “She needed to get over herself,” or they might just run her into the fence. It’s refreshing in a way to know that we aren’t the only ones with problems. Even if we too, are beautiful. So please don’t hate us.
