No Goat Racing

[Sibling DavidH]

Yesterday we took Cap'n B to a sort of zoo farm, specifically because they advertised a goat race.  When we got there, the goat race was cancelled and we only saw a sheep race.



Now sheep racing is very exciting, of course, but I'm so annoyed at missing the great event.
Cap'n B didn't give a damn because he got to ride on a tractor.

I suppose sheep races are less exciting than goat races because sheep follow each other anyway.

Cap'n B is a creature after my own heart-- who cares about silly animal races when there are..... tractors (or other cool hardware) to sit upon.

Those teddy bear jockeys look a bit like tipsy bear jockeys...

Jack Russel racing, now that's an event.

I thought these rural animal races used monkeys as jockeys.

I thought these rural animal races used monkeys as jockeys.

No, that's rural politics...

[Swatopluk]

Now you confuse jockeys and yokels

[Sibling DavidH]

My dear Bob, we'd be delighted if our local politicians were anywhere near as intelligent as monkeys.

Especially the candidates for Mayor of London.......................

.... or what the Republicans were fielding for Pres'dint.

Lol. Sod the sheep (not in the Welsh/Australasian way ). I want a tractor ride, too!

^ The novelty wears off a tractor pretty fast...

I once spent most of a long, long, long day perched in the doorway of one with a cab, to prove my undying love for a Real Cowboy. 

Yeah, I was a lot younger and not thinking as clearly back then...

That's a sad tale P09 !

[Roland Deschain]

^^ That's quite sweet. It could be the topic of a John Denver song.

PoN's Song

You fill up my senses like a day in a tractor
Like the fields in springtime, like a ride on a plough
Like a storm in the wheat field, like a sleepy legume smell
You fill up my senses come fill me again.
