They depend on that for their survival.<BR/><BR/>Secondly, the instinct of horses (being prey animals) is to run away from anything which might pose a threat, whether they understand it or not.

You have a certain number of players for each position. Every week you play another team in your league. Whoever's players score the most points wins. For example, a running back will get 6 points for each touchdown and 1 point for each 10 yards they carry the ball. So basically you get points based on your players' stats and whoever has the most points wins the week. There are even playoffs and a "super bowl" for the league.<BR/>Mostly its just an excuse for a whole hell of a lot of shit talking amongst your friends.<BR/><BR/>p.s. I love the hot air balloon pictures!a.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04187569807093887442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-8995104920302454492008-09-25T12:54:00.000+10:002008-09-25T12:54:00.000+10:00Well Quickie, it's on the cards for January so com...Well Quickie, it's on the cards for January so come on over, bring the missus and we'll do the Hunter Valley!<BR/><BR/>Haha you remember Skippy Milday?

I've even heard him reading his poems, very Aussie bloke, what a weird co-incidence reading the poem and the post (He's far more eloquent!)<BR/><BR/>Terrence it was a 'controlled' landing, he skimmed the trees and there was a land rover waiting to collect the gear over the back fence.
