Lorraine~ Firstly, I want to say congratulations on staying on!
Second, this very similar event happened one ride on my Moldi.although he was being ridden fairly regularly.but out of the blue, he took off, and I couldn't stop him, turn him, etc..it shook me up for YEARS. For some reason, 3 weeks ago I just couldn't bear to have the horses standing.and I started riding again. He has been fine.a little unwilling to go where I want him to go, but I am not scared anymore. I hope this will continue. I am very happy for your happy ending! Mary
