Like a violin teacher tells a student to hold the musical instrument tight under the chin, LOVE THY WOOD! Like a rifleman is taught a proper cheek weld, LOVE THY WOOD! Like a baseball player or tennis player is taught proper grip on a bat handle, LOVE THY WOOD! Like a wingshooter or skeet shooter is taught proper placement of the face on the comb of the shotgun stock, LOVE THY WOOD! Like a bowler is taught not to drop the ball on the hard-wood oiled alley hard, LOVE and RESPECT THY BOWLING ALLEY OWNER'S WOOD! That hollow creepy wood underneath the horse's foot steps sounds like a scary old-fashioned roller coaster is why horses may balk at wooden bridges. Ted is training his horses to LOVE THY WOOD!
