"Quarter Horse"
The circus a place where horses, ponies and elephants are permitted to see men, women and children acting the fool.
- Ambrose Bierce
A female horse over 4 years old is called a mare.
One evening while I was preparing dinner, my daughter came into the kitchen asking for homework help on her vocabulary words. "Mom," she asked, "what's a quarter horse?"
As I thought of a simple explanation, my five-year-old son piped up, "It's the one they have in front of the grocery store."
