The equine eating bush, trashcan, mudpuddle, tiny unseeable pebble in the road....All walked by and previously noted by your horse of course. Then OH MY GOD! Suddenly, these things all come alive to get them; with no warning of course. I sat an amazing kick out at two monstrous traschcans (he's seen them before, BUT they had a hugh mudpuddle in front of them which I asked him to go through) with a 360 and a right then left sideways leap into the air 2 days ago. My friend said she saw AIR b/t me and the saddle and was thinking about how HARD the pavement was gonna feel.... On the way home he stopped at another trashcan and tried to open it because it had empty feed bags of his brand and he could not believe someone would throw away his feed! I just shook my head. Horses are strange, I do agree, but I wouldn't have them any other way!<br />Enjoy your blog BTW...<br />Slainte'<br />--Mindyjacksonsgrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09702324347419665816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6269069291231916423.post-8902255355857136822009-05-30T14:46:24.200-07:002009-05-30T14:46:24.200-07:00#2 - One of my mentors swore blind that when you h...#2 - One of my mentors swore blind that when you have a ride like that, some horses go away and think about it overnight, and that's why you get the turnaround the next day.<br /><br />I gotta admit, all possible accusations of anthropomorphism aside, when he first said that, I nodded politely and secretly thought "Whatever." <br />However with years and experience, I have had a certain amount of anecdotal experience that suggests that actually, he was right. YMMV of course.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09045704347401919175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6269069291231916423.post-27027594060096877222009-05-30T14:35:46.574-07:002009-05-30T14:35:46.574-07:00#3 = STORY OF MY LIFE#3 = STORY OF MY LIFEAndreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15902291220984883182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6269069291231916423.post-14860057019750405702009-05-30T11:26:15.117-07:002009-05-30T11:26:15.117-07:00Ooh, excited to hear about the eventing derby at I...Ooh, excited to hear about the eventing derby at Inavale!Albigearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07705231641878762167noreply@blogger.com
