you should see him now, he is what donny calls "calmatose", only donny
isnt making a joke, he thinks thats how it is spelled and pronounced.
People will say wow, Tivar is sure a quiet horse and Donny will reply
in all seriousness, oh yeah, he's calmatose most of the time. My
Donny is dyslexic and can barely read and gets all his words wrong but
you couldnt ever mistake him for being "not bright" even tho most of
the time he appears calmatose. he is one of those people who cant
pass a test but you would sure like to have in the event of a nuclear
holocaust and you had to survive off the land. I found that out the
night we were camping and a storm blew thru and it went from 80
degrees to 18 in a matter of hours and I had no coat. He made me a
wool cape by taking a blanket and throwing it around me, and making it
fasten by bunching the fabric over a rock and tying a piece of hay
string around it so it was like a button. I woulda never thought of
that...
