Rocky

Rocky, The Belching Horse
On a recent trip into the hills of eastern Kentucky, I visited a farm that's home to many horses. I was with a group of homeschool moms and their many pre-school children. The man who was giving us the tour of the barn came in, walking an enormous horse named Rocky.He explained to the children that Rocky was a Belgian work horse. They all looked up at the beautiful brown horse, eyes wide at the sight of this huge animal. Then I heard the funniest thing ....

Off to the side of the group, I heard a little boy whisper to his mom in an urgent tone: "MOM! What's a BELCHING horse??"
