I took the old man who has been breeding horses over fifty years to jeffers this weekend. As we were coming in the door a woman was hobbling toward us. he very gentlemanly stood and waited, holding the door open for her, as you may or may not know, Jeffers is for all pets, animals, livestock, not just horses. As she hobbled up, her leg in a brand new looking cast, the old man said "good morning, how are you today? And how's that horse!" She said "Fine," then did a double take and said "How did you know I had a horse?!" and he smiled and said "I have had horses all my life and I just know its a lot easier to get a broken leg from a horse than a dog or cat or even a cow" and he looked at her with some compassion.
Then on the way home I told him I have broken my toes so many times from my horses through the years, on both feet, every toe, some of them three or four times. Then a couple of weeks ago I stubbed my toe vacuuming my swimming pool and broke it. Maybe I need calcium he said. Said broken bones use up a lot of calcium to heal, that if I was gonna be around horses or swimming pools maybe I needed calcium. very wise I think... Janice -- yipie tie yie yo
