‘High horse’

Dear Editor:

Have you ever ridden on a merry go round ride? The horses are all painted so beautifully.

But, have you noticed the difference in those horses? Some have their ears pinned back almost in anger and some have faces with their ears standing up looking forward.

That ride reminds me of an old saying: getting up on your high horse.

This happens when one horse goes up and then that rider is looking down at the one beside it. Even if someone you know is sitting on that one or a complete stranger perhaps.

The high horse ... it doesn’t stay up forever.
