Why Kids are like Race Horses

Kids love horses. And summer in Saratoga means horse racing. So we thought it would be fun to think of all the reasons why kids are like thoroughbreds (race horses). I asked my six year old daughter and this is what she said:

1. Kids love to run / Race Horses love to run faster
   
   
2. Kids eat a lot / So do Race Horses
   
   
3. Kids love to run in the sprinkler / Horses love to be washed down with a hose after racing
   
   
4. Kids love to race other kids / Horses love to race other horses
   
   
5. Kids love to get their hair brushed and braided / Horses love to get their manes brushed and braided before the horse sales
   
   
6. Kids like to smile at their parents / Horses like to smile at their fans and show their big teeth
   
   
7. Every Kid is beautiful / Every horse is magnificent
   
   
8. Babies are cute / Baby horses are cute too
   
   
9. Sometimes kids like to run away and tease their parents / Sometimes horses like to throw their jockeys and tease their owners and trainers
   
   
10. Kids like to have their heads rubbed / Horses love a little rub on their noses
    
    
11. Kids like to be tickled under their arms / Horses like to be tickled on their bellies
    
    
12. Kids love to dance / Show horses love to move their legs and dance
    
    
13. Kids like to jump over ropes / Horses like to jump over fences
    
    
14. One of the first words kids learn to say is “neigh” / Horses say “neigh” all the time
