Kept gathering herself together (guess he was working up the umph and the nerve). Then she just became overbalanced and did a beautiful nose dive right into the creek! I felt so sorry for her. That was many years ago circa 1956! I can still remember it and get a laugh. Though I also was worried about injury. She seemd fine and we vetted her when she got home. No problems. That's one of the most dangerous times, when you are trying to lead your horse across an obstacle that they are frightened of. When they finally jump it they often overdo it, and then land right on you. -- Joe Long jlong@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.chiprider.com =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
