Blokes and Horses

Hi guys!
Sorry I haven't written for ages, been rather busy with exams etc.
Not really been up to much with the ponies this week. It's summer now, so they've had a week in the field without being bothered.
Took my new boyfriend to the farm tonight. He wasn't impressed. He's scared of horses, and so it was quite funny watching his little face when I showed him my friend's colt. Hehe.
Why is it that blokes all act big and hard, but they're all petrified of horses? Apparently it's because they killed superman, but I think it's just because all blokes are wimps!
Sorry to all you horsey guys out there, you're a breed of your own, we like you.
