It was such a beautiful evening. Warm, sunny, slight breeze, no recent poop soup applications on surrounding fields.
Ziggy met the pigs for the first time and was Thrilled that such creatures exist and reside in his barn. (Does he know instinctively how yummy they will be this fall?)
I said "Let's go for a walk!"
Molly said "Let me ride Spinner in the meadow. We can put him on a lead rope. He will be fine even though we don't have any tack for him yet."
And he was.
So happy to be spending time with The Girl and the Woman and The Man in the meadow. The Boy stayed further away and he was O.K. with that.
All the horses were happy and calm. We walked to the back of the meadow where they usually don't go and they discovered that the grass and clover back there were very good.
There was a lot of happy snorting and snuffling as they ate - "Check out this great grass!" "Yes this is very good." " Let's come back tomorrow!"
And then we turned around.
Stupid, stupid me.
Ziggy was being a pain on his leash and the horses were being so good that Bry and I traded. He took the dog. I took the horse.
Why it is good to have former Boy Scouts/ a WFR & a Fireman in the neighborhood |
"Let's go back to the barn!"
"There might be carrots!"
"Let's RUN!"
"YAY!!!"
I have to say that it was a pretty good dismount at 15 or 20 mph. And she didn't land on her head or smash into any rocks or get trampled or anything. Just broke her ankle. Really well. It needs a pin.
Tune in Later for a story about why Molly will never be a Drug Addict. |
One of the first questions the ER nurse asked was "Have you ever had surgery?" |
...
OMG, Virginia!! Things happen so fast and there is no undoing them for sure! Hope Molly feels better and I hope you do to!
