Whoa.....i SAID whoa!
So i went out to the barn today with Anastasia, she is a girl that I met in my civil war class, to her friends house that has horses. We were going to ride two of the owners horses that are both old thoroughbreds but unfortunately Peter, the gelding i was going to ride, had just popped an absess so we didn't take them out.
But then later we got the idea that if we just sat on them both bareback and let them graze then that would be alright, right? Well i hopped on peter first and what does he do? he tears off down the other side of the paddock with me holding on to his mane. I was laughing the whole time, because then the mare got loose before Anastasia could get on and they are now both running around and bucking in this little paddock with me on peters back laughing and yelling "whoa! hahahaha stop! hahaha" so they finally go back into the corner and stand looking around while i get off. it was so much fun!! dangerous....yes. but really fun. when i got off my whole body was quivering, half from my muscles and half from the adrenalin.
oh so much fun.
Peters absess.
