>2. Changing riders.

>4. Arranging to visit other countries to see how other cultures ride

>5. Lowering the standards so that dead horses can be included.

>6. Reclassifying the dead horse as living impaired.

>7. Hiring outside contractors to ride the dead horse.

>8. Harnessing several dead horses together to increase speed.

>9. Providing additional funding and/or training to increase the dead

>10. Doing a productivity study to see if lighter riders would improve
>the dead horse's performance.

>11. Declaring that as the dead horse does not have to be fed, it is less
>costly, carries lower overhead and therefore contributes substantially
>more to the bottom line of the economy than do some other horses.

>12. Rewriting the expected performance requirements for all horses.

>And, of course ...

>13. Promoting the dead horse to a supervisory position.
