I kept a close eye on 'em. We have three Tennessee Walking Horses, one of which absolutely destroys seat cusions on any farm vehicle.

Why?
I've seen cows lick an old truck before. So, why does this one horse like seat cushions? Maybe, the horse "hates" seat cushions???

The horses are probably jealous. I mean....when someone says the word "horsepower" nowadays....what's the first thing you think of? I bet it's not a horse...

when the horses or cattle have a new toy in their play yard, they have to investigate, taste, rub up against it etc... until the newness wears off. of course some slight damage will ocure.

I had a 64 International Harvester 1/2 ton step side PU, had it all freshly painted, along with the horse trailer to match. i parked it too close to a fence one afternoon, and this old mare clamped down on the hood right tt the hood ornament. put 3 long gaouge marks with her teeth in the paint.

should have seen the look on the insurance guys when explaining that one. they did cover it.

your car looks like our SD, I bought it for my favorite GF too.
