As I’ve mentioned, donkeys and mules tend to do things at their own pace. And that pace usually falls somewhere between ambling and glacial. So a slogan popped into my head one night: Half-Ass Riding Club — We Get There When We Get There.
I originally meant it in a literal sense, about mules being half ass (donkey) and somewhat slow.
Later, I realized there was a second meaning, about being a half-ass rider and not caring how fast or far my mount goes.
Much later, it dawned on me that there’s yet a third interpretation for those of us who are living out our riding dreams in middle age or older. It took us a while to get here, but we did get here. And that’s all that matters. 🙂
If you’re a member of the half-ass club in any sense (or would like to be), I’d love for you to purchase a shirt, decal, magnet, etc., designed by yours truly. There are versions with male and female riders.
All profits are used to spoil the midlife mule and her friends with treats, toys and salt licks!
