00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: Those old saints, phrases, idioms, You know those things your

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,599
family and friends said that usually came from out of nowhere,

3
00:00:06,719 --> 00:00:09,560
and only sometimes they actually made sense. Well, they had

4
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,320
to start somewhere right, Who, what, where, why, when, and how?

5
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,119
Some of those old saints are not only ancient, but

6
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,800
still carry a powerful punch. Even today. I happen to

7
00:00:18,839 --> 00:00:22,079
live by one of those old saints. Winning is a choice.

8
00:00:22,719 --> 00:00:25,000
The goal of these episodes is to help preserve not

9
00:00:25,039 --> 00:00:28,719
only a language, but lessons in life. My name is Arrow.

10
00:00:30,079 --> 00:00:35,079
Horse sense Yeah, horse sense, meaning practical intelligence, judgment, or

11
00:00:35,119 --> 00:00:39,000
basic common sense. The origin of horse sense started right

12
00:00:39,039 --> 00:00:40,759
here in the United States. In the early part of

13
00:00:40,759 --> 00:00:43,560
the eighteen hundreds. You see, horses were seen as steady

14
00:00:43,679 --> 00:00:48,479
and reliable intellectual wisdom. Farmers relied on their horses their

15
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,560
keen awareness. It helped them avoid danger, navigate terrain, and

16
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:58,960
more importantly, stay calm. Horse sense natural reliable intelligence. The

17
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,479
phrase gained in popularity due to humorist and cowboy philosopher

18
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,799
Will Rogers. He wrote, horse sense is the one thing

19
00:01:05,879 --> 00:01:08,959
a horse has It keeps it from betting on humans.

20
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,079
While horse sense is usually associated more with farmers, ranchers,

21
00:01:13,079 --> 00:01:16,480
and countryfolk. It's a great way to best explain someone

22
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,640
who is a leader but doesn't let it go to

23
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,879
their head. They're in control of their actions and reactions

24
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,760
while staying aware of everything in front of them. One

25
00:01:24,799 --> 00:01:27,159
phrase that comes from it, why don't you use some

26
00:01:27,239 --> 00:01:29,959
horse sense. I'm sure you might have to explain that

27
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,480
to young adult city slickers who think everything is some

28
00:01:32,519 --> 00:01:36,040
sort of insult, when in fact it's wisdom that doesn't

29
00:01:36,079 --> 00:01:40,280
go out of style. Horse sense something our parents would say.
