7 weak horse related analogies / Manhole

Nailing a job interview:
Succeeding at a job interview is allot like taming a wild stallion. Much importance can be placed on first impressions. A good navy suit is like a trusty lasso in that it’s often overlooked but may very well seal the deal. Having action words in your resume like ‘spearhead’, ‘orchestrate’, and ‘initiate’ are the gentle strokes of the mane performed by the master horse whisperers. . .
Wine & food pairing:
Choosing the proper wine to accompany your meal is allot like choosing the right horse for a journey. Some meals are robust and spicy while others and light and sweet just like some journeys are long and treacherous while others are quick and stay to a well-trafficked path. So while a bold cabernet might go well with a filet mignon, a Clydesdale would be well suited for a lengthy trip hauling a large amount of supplies across the Appalachians. . .
Excelling at water skiing:
A good water skier is nothing more than a purebred racing horse. Just like a good skier sees the water as his second home, the racing horse sees the track. Also I think I remember hearing that the ability to water-ski was hereditary – just like horse racing. Anyway a good pair of skis is like a good pair of horseshoes in that one must take care to ensure a proper fit for a smooth and painless ride. The boat is like the stable. . .
Dating:
Like a cowboy to his trusty steed; so are two soul mates that happen to find each other. And while the loyalty found between cowboy and horse does not develop over night; so is meeting your soul mate often not love at first site. The first date is like that first oat bag. The goal here is to gain trust. If things progress and intimacy appears to be in the cards don't forget to use a saddle with spurs and blinders. . .
Losing weight:
You need to look at reaching your goal weight like a horse delivering an important package via the pony express in the 1860’s. Not only is the journey long, it requires patience and stamina. Throughout your journey you can expect to be ambushed by Indians (fast food cravings) and outlaws (carbohydrates) when delivering your important package (self-esteem) to General Hancock’s army (daily exercise) in time for battle (brunch special). . .
Buying real estate:
Buying property is allot like buying a ranch with horses. Actually I suppose it could be exactly like buying a ranch with horses if that’s the type of real estate you are in the market for. A good real estate agent can round up several potential properties in your price range for you to consider much like a border collie can lead horses into some sort of barn. . .
Decorating your home:
Choosing the right style of furniture and deciding on a particular theme for your home can be looked at the same way as a rancher choosing the right horse for stud. Both are investments in the future. The mare chosen is also vital and can be compared to the interior decorator. A good art collection is like horse semen. . .
