<b>THE NEAR SIDE</b> : Misfit Designs: Horse Humor & Gifts

A slightly (okay, REALLY) warped look at horses, "The Near Side" appears monthly in Horse Bits magazine.

Near Side: A Draft In Here
"Oh great. They left the barn door open, and now there's a draft in here"

Too Many Apps
He liked the Smart Phone, but he didn't realize it was going to come with so many Apps.

Four Calling Birds
He was sorry he'd given them his phone number. Those four birds just wouldn't stop calling.

Spook House
In which the artist imagines what a Halloween Spook House for horses might contain.

Olympic Dreams
Like his stable mates, he dreamed of Olympic gold. But his dreams were different.

The Test
Had he known there would be a test, he would have paid more attention in flat class.

Horsey Scrabble
Just because horses have a limited vocabulary doesn't mean they can't enjoy a good board game.

Flash Mob
"This used to be called a Stampede. Now it's called a Flash Mob!"

Electric Fence
After a few false starts, his experience with the electric turned out to be largely positive.

Water Trough
She didn't care how bad the pond water tasted. She was never, ever going to drink from the water trough again.

Babe Magnet
His instinct was usually keen. But he'd been wrong - the cribbing strap was, in fact, NOT a babe magnet.

Acting Funny
He knew something was wrong. The horses were acting funny.

Within Reach
While he hadn't yet mastered bending to the left, all the suppling exercises were proving to have other benefits.

Screwed
Blaze new he was screwed. There simply wouldn't be any good way to explain how he'd lost all four shoes.
