[RC] collywobbles - Alice Yovich

I didn't know that there was a clinical term for what happened to me and my mare the other day. It wasn't March, though, it was April. We were cantering along, so nice and relaxed. I had just decided she'd done enough of cantering in the front (she hates being in front) and I was about sit and bring her down to the trot when BAM! I hit the ground and she took off running. Not only did she take off running, she spooked my friends horse who dumped her and took off running. Luckily, we had two other friends who caught our horses. I'm still sore.

*A "collywobbles" is an evil sprite that only horses can see.  They take
great delight in scaring horses.  They inhabit all areas of the world, but
are most prevalent around horses.  While they are most active in March, they
are in evidence all year long.
