What to do if your horse is NOT carbonated...
(For those of you who missed yesterday's post, if a horse isn't COOPERATING with you, Rayna would say he isn't CARBONATED with you.)
Darcy figures if the horse isn't carbonated, you may as well make the best of it and just take a nap on him!
However, Rayna was just way too mad at her horse for not "carbonated" that she left the corral altogether and decided she would rather take her nap on a less aggravating pet!
Poor Darcy should have joined Rayna. Instead, she chose to ride Lightening bareback and bridle-less yesterday afternoon and he was WAY, WAY, TOO CARBONATED!!! He was so carbonated that she went flying right off his back as he took a sharp right turn at a quick bouncy trot. Poor girl ploughed through the leaves on her face. Knocked the wind out of her and scuffed her forehead up a bit and left her with a really sore knee (and this morning a stiff neck, too). The experience hasn't dampened her enthusiasm for riding in the least, though! (Though it has heightened her appreciation for sadles and bridles!) She got right back up on him and rode him quite a while longer yesterday after her tumble. On the way home, she told me that riding was the most fun activity there was, even if you fall once in a while. This morning, she was even declaring to any who would listen that, "falling is really quite fun!" Yeah...right!....I don't think so! ¶ 11/10/2005 07:02:00 AM
