Title: my wkend so far.
Post by: sonikhead on 17 May 2009, 17:26:10
well guys yesterday i decided to have a go on the mrs horse for the 1st time and what an experiance it turned out to be, we had just saddled her up walked half a mile and cocky me thinks riding a horse is well easy, well it is if you dont slip on the saddle as your trying to get on and clonk her on the back of the head, hadnt even got the reins and she reared up launched me off i hit the floor like a sack of shit got my foot caught in the stirrup and all i can remember is her kicking out at me as i lay on the floor thinking i was gonna get pumelled by a half ton mad horse. i ended up with a twisted knee and a bruised ankle. lucky i think

I went out with a horsey girl many years ago, she was lovely (strong thighs) & the horse!!!...but at a show jumping event she attended one sunday i watched then ran from the mayhem when one horse threw a wobbly & bolted. Every other horse there decided to follow suit with or without rider. 3 or 4 spectators were hospitalised, one badly...no face left.
  Magnificent as these creatures are they're powerful highly strung beasts with a brain the size of a golfball. The equation between power & temperament is one best avoided. :(
