In my next life I have decided I want to come back in a different form. It would be nice if I could live in a beautiful place, have people to wait on me, groom me, take care of my daily diet, accompany me during exercise.
Then I work, I want to draw crowds. Huge crowds that wave and stare in glee and admiration. I will march in Parade for these crowds, of course I will have my hair braided quite lovely with pretty bows in it and I shall like to wear nice fluffy boots.
I would like to be dressed in the finest accessories, leather, silver and gold. These items shall be made especially for me and worn only by me, no hand-me-downs please!
My form shall be large, so large in fact I can eat what I please. Fifty pounds of food a day without having to worry about weight gain shall be acceptable to me. I think I should weight about a ton or more. Give or take a few hundred pounds, it won't matter. My height shall be at least 6 feet tall, I want to see all that is happening around me. Tall and powerful, yes, that shall be me.
I would prefer to be born from a long line of ancestors who are undoubtedly Champions. My beautiful mane shall be black, my face white and my body bay. My feet shall be white, all four of them.
I will want friends at least 7 of them to travel with me. We shall all be extremely gorgeous, with lovely mellow dispositions. Of course! We are Royalty, what shall we have to complain about?
We shall be a team, we will live, travel and work together. Everywhere we go we shall be meet with wide-eyed wonder. We are welcomed and loved.
We are the Budweiser Clydesdales, we bring the beer!
(On the first Saturday of every month, the Nice Folks at the Budweiser Brewery in Fort Collins, dress up one of the beautiful Clydesdales and patiently allow the public to photograph the horse and themselves. Today families were showing up with their Santa Hats to take their Christmas Card photos! What a wonderful idea. Free tours of the Brewery are available every 30 minutes. Free refreshments are offered at the end of the tour) The Anheuser-Busch Brewery Tour is just another fun thing to do in Colorado. Located just off I-25 in Fort Collins, you can't miss it. The Plant can be seen for miles around! Go enjoy!)
See my home? I have a very nice barn don't you think?

Thoughts to ponder...
A team of these beautiful horses was given by August A. Busch, Jr. to his father, to celebrate the end of Prohibition in 1933. Horse drawn beer wagons had been popular as a means (the only means) distributing the beer. Mr. Busch was a stinkler for having the best looking horses and a sparking clean wagon. He insisted that his beer would look good from the brewery to the pub. His marketing obviously was right on, it has stood the test of time, all the way into the 21st Century.
How do you market yourself? Will you and/or the way you present yourself last that long?
What an excellent way to honor those beautiful animals! Loved it!
