Demotivational Horse Posters

Flattery. If you want to get to the top, prepare to kiss a lot of the bottom

We all know the horrible motivational posters often found in doctors office waiting rooms, DMV locations and high school principal offices. They make the cynic in all of us roll it’s eyes, but someone somewhere still makes them.

A New Twist

It’s not a really a new twist, but it’s a clever one. Whoever started the de-motivational poster meme was quite a character. The idea has grown from just changing the originals to creating new posters specifically for de-motivational messages. Here are some horse themed posters that are sure to get a chuckle…even if you have seen them already.

Herd animals by nature, horses need to have buddies or they actually get lonely. Not everyone can afford one horse, much less a second to keep the first one company. So often horse owners have to come up with creative solutions to keep their equine from feeling sad.

Best Pals

I searched high and low to discover some of the different creatures people use as friends for their equine. In the process I found some fantastic images that I just had to share. In fact I found so many, I created several posts, one for each of the popular horse buddies. Today, it’s goats.

There isn’t much cuter than animals with their children. Youngsters often share a special bond with the animals in their life, one that perhaps adults can no longer understand.

Zebras are a wild striped cousin to the horse. Their name comes from the Portuguese word zevra which translates to wild ass.

Like horses, zebras can thrive in many habitats and are found in the plains, forests, mountains and on the coast.

Their biggest predator is man, who hunts them for their striped coat and destroys their natural habitat.

More Than One Type

The striped patterns are individual to each animal and there are three different types of zebra.
