If You Give A Girl A Haflinger

If you give a girl a Haflinger,

She's going to ask for a wide-tree saddle.

When you give her the new saddle,

She'll probably ask for a pretty, new, air-cushioned pad.

When she tries the saddle on with the pad,

She'll probably need a new, slightly larger cinch, 

and maybe a flank cinch as well

When she's ready to ride, she'll realize 

her bridle doesn't match the new saddle.

When she gets the new bridle, 

she might notice that her bit has a few rust spots.

When she buys a new bit, 

and sees how beautiful her horse looks in his new tack, 

she'll want to show him off to her friends. 

She'll need a new horse trailer to take her horse on a trail ride.

When she is out on the trail 

she might see a Haflinger pulling a carriage, 

and she might decide she wants to do that. 

When she buys a carriage, it might come with a pole, 

instead of shafts, and chances are 

she'll ask for another Haflinger to go with it.

When you give the girl a second Haflinger,
she'll probably want another saddle!
