Okay, You Guys, This Was An Eyeopener

Here's the deal,

I've just had the darnedest wake up call of all time. This one totally blew my mind. I still can't believe it!

As you may recall, my wife had a bit of an accident a few weeks ago that really messed her up when she took a headfirst spill over the ears of her horse.

Fast forward, I take the pony away from her because I can see right off that she cannot handle this horse. She just has not been around enough horses and doesn't have the experience. These animals are not toys and they can hurt you if ya don't know what you're doin'.

Didn't work; she bought another. And has been patiently waiting for the owners to deliver this new mare.

So, Friday afternoon, in the yard they pull with this big, long, very slick tonner/trailer combo that I'm still totally droolin' over, but that is another story entirely. :>)

Prior owner tells the wife that under no circumstances should she ever ride this horse without first lunging her out. She is just too full of vinegar and she is a warm-blood; she's a full sister to the cutter and ya know how he is. Work her out first. Get the kinks outta ‘er.

"Oh Baloney!", says I. "I'll show you how to handle this horse. She's a piece of cake; I can tell by lookin' at 'er." "Any derned fool can ride this mare". :>)

Now Guys, I've been swingin' up on barebacks since I was three years old. Grab that mane and swing yourself up. Nothing to it. Been doin' it all my life. You don't need a saddle, ya darned sure don't need a bridle and ya sure as heck don't need a halter, right? Ya use that mane and your knees. Heck, everybody and anybody who lives 50 feet outside the city limits knows that!

Fellas, I tried three times to swing onto that silly mare. I can't do it anymore! The old bones just don't have the bounce that they used to. :>(

Yep, hate to admit it, but guess I'm old and I'll just bet that mare is still out there snickerin' to herself. Friday was a very humiliating day!

I'm goin' back to tinker on my old tractors. :>(
