The Dead Horse

What do you do if you are riding in the desert and your horse drops dead? Dismount!!!

This was a wise saying that I have heard many times before. I asked some people that and have ended up with various answers. As a matter of fact, someone told me that if the horse is running and nears death, perhaps, he could ride and whip it so that it may get him somewhere. No, the horse is dead it is not going to take you anywhere. You will get to your destination faster if you walk.

The dead horse can represent many things: actions, job, relationship, friendship,hobby, etc.... Many people look at the horse when they come to a crossroad. Some dismount and some continue to holler "Giddy up horsie. Let's go."

What are some common dead horses?
