To those of you who counsel a vigorous and clear

reprimand to the first sign of under-saddle aggression

(of the horse; not the rider), you have my gratitude.

 

A good friend's horse kicked out at my horse, but got me

on the kneecap and fractured it.  Whenever my friend's

horse pinned her ears at others, she would coo to her: bad

girl...in a mild voice and flick the reins.  So, her horse

continued to pin her ears...and then finally gave a serious

high kick at my horse...the one which got me. 

 

I was also tailgating...a momentary lapse on my part while

I was gawking at the view; so I share blame in this

episode.  You can bet that I am hyper-aware of how close

we are to the guys ahead now.

 

Cheers,

Betty
