If Arian Monk Had a horse...?

[5]

Would he be disqualified for using dye to make each white stocking exactly 10 inches from the hoof?
For using same to make sure his horses blaze was a perfectly straight rectangle?

Or would he be given a pass becuase of his disability.

I could see him in a 2'9" class begging the judge "Could you make the jumps three feet even? It's really important." and dusting them off before he jumps.

Bet he would have the best braid job at the show!

Adrian Monk wouldn't have a horse. Horses blow snot on you and poop. There are germs in the barn. Horses don't keep their bedding perfectly level.

If Adrian Monk ever did have a horse, he'd never get to ride it. He'd be so busy getting every speck of dirt off the beast, making sure the mane was evenly pulled, the tail perfectly symmetrical, etc. that the barn would be closed by the time he finished!

And if Adrian Monk ever did have a horse and manage to get to ride it, I'd bet he'd ride dressage because he'd want to make the most geometrically perfect circles you'd ever see!

Ten braids with ten twists to the braid.

Scratch the jumping - he would ride dressage.
Use a dustbuster on his horse between rounds.
Would have a horse that never lays down or gets dirty.
His horse would pee & poop in one spot (at a specified time- I'm thinking top of the hour.)

You are right, dressage! My favorite show. I heard this summer is the last season. If he just had to have a horse he would enjoy my bay mare, very symetrical white and very not demanding animal. A little grumpy though. The grey would drive him crazy. He would also enjoy my daughters beagle...we call her the Monk of the dog world.

I agree with dogchushu, Adrian Monk wouldn't have a horse. He probably wouldn't even get within 20 feet of a horse.

Where he's at a farm, maybe someone was trying to steal a horse with a look-a-like, read story about GG missing, and he's the one that notices that they used freeze brand to change markings...

Horses are nature and Monk doesn't do nature.

[slpeders]

well -- he doesn't do much nature, but I still remember the episode where they were walking in the woods and Monk was thirsty and the Capt convinced him that the stream nearby was "the" Sierra Spring that his water came from. :)

Anyone have "Monk-ish" tendencies with their horse stuff? I catch myself having to adjust my breeches and take a relaxing breath before I get on, need to have my pad set 'just so' before putting the saddle on it...it's kind of sad sometimes. I notice that odd little things will make me nuts riding -- like one squeaky boot, or the change I have in my jacket pocket...there are days I realize how Monk-like I can be and I scare myself! :)

If the polo wrap is not perfectly symmetrical with the layers, or slightly thicker at the top, I will take it off and rewrap the leg :lol:
And my tall boots sqeak against my synthetic saddle and drive me insane.

Better yet - Monk v. George Morris.

I would pay big money to see that :lol:
