I was walking around the corner of the barn at Creekside the other day
carrying a purple saddle pad. For some reason, that was scarey and she took
off running until she got to the front feet of my friend's Peruvian
Paso. Having nowhere else to go, she flapped as hard as a chicken can and
ended right up in his face. He was impressive. Other than wide eyes, he
stood stock still.
Here is a story where I was much more concerned than the horses.....
It was this past March when we had guests. We went out on the last all day
ride and we ended up having to do the last 2 miles in the dark. Which is fine
as all of our horse are very accostmed to night riding and our guests were the
Very adventure types.
So we turned up Papaya Farms road and up ahead I saw what appeared to be some
sort of lights floating in the air. I will have to admit, I was wondering how
our horses would do as this was not normal.
Well I was on Skyfaxa and went ahead of the group and called out 'Hello'
Turns out it was some professional jugglers practicing with their new
equiptment. They were neon lighted bowling pin shaped things that they were
juggling with...all you could see was these multicolered pins floating in the
dark...we could not see the people untill we were right next to them.
Our horses were calm and relaxed
