It's been said that if you don't have a sense of humor then you need to re-look a lifestyle with horses, cause as surely as the Sun rises in the morning, you're gonna need a good sense of humor.
I got a kick out of the funny horse definitions below, hopefully you will too.
Arena: Place where humans can take the fun out of forward motion.
Bit: Means by which a rider's every motion is transmitted to the sensitive tissues of the mouth.
Bucking: Counter-irritant.
Cross Ties: Gymnastic apparatus.
Dressage: Process by which some riders can eventually be taught to respect the bit. Isn't dressage those people wearing funny pants and hats?
