Yesterday, we got to go to Mustang's house. I referred to her as Carl in my last post. I got to ride her chocolate paint, named Trixie.
We walked the barrels, and with Mustang leading her, we had... entertainment.
"Trixie bolts off from the starting line, headed toward the first barrel!" - We are slowly crawling along at snail speed.
"She swings closely around the barrel, not losing speed!" - We are three feet from the barrel, still crawling S-L-O-W-L-Y along. This continues through all the barrels, and when we get to the last one, Mustang says "Trixie, if you wouldn't mind helping here, we would like that a lot."
On the last barrel, headed toward home, we kicked Trixie up to a...... TROT "Trixie uses a burst off speed, not seen before! She gallops top speed toward the finish line, and crosses the finish line! SHE WON!" As we managed to make the barrels in, oh, bout TEN MINUTES. So we won.
I also met Gypsy, her light dappled palomino Quarter horse. For anyone NOT a horse person, a golden horse with small, light spots, and she is a common breed.
I am glad you survived those break neck speeds!

Someday Trixie might actually help! And by the way, is anyone NOT a horse person?!
ReplyDeleteI agree, I don't know anyone who is not a horse person. I mean, I TOTALLY am. If you don't know who I am, I am that girl you sit next to at boilogy, the one who LOVES riding horses, and recently DID ride a horse a breakneck speed. Not to brag, of course....
