Re: [RC] [RC-Digest] Vol: 03.2192 Christmas ride/getting separated from your horse - Chipnml
This summer I was tailing up a very rocky hill, when Cheers decided to pick
up the pace and went springing up the rocks, jerking the lead out of my hands
and causing me to fall on my face. My first instinct was to holler "WHOA"
which he, of course, ignored. So I started calling to him in the soupy
baby-talk voice I use when he's out in the pasture and I have a treat for
him. You know..."Cheeee-yers, Mommy's got a treeeee-yet." He
immediately stopped and waited for me. I never thought that silly little
game I play with him would save him from possible serious injury (there was a
road at the top of the hill), or me from a long walk back to camp!
Chip (the secret's out...I talk baby talk to all my
critters!)
