Ack!

My first horse-sized horse, Gidget.

She had a hard mouth and empty head.

I cannot count the times she took me for a Wild Ride from wherever we were, back to the house which included a 90 degree high speed turn into the yard.

If she came home “empty”, nobody came to look for me.

They knew what had happened.

She’d bolted near a low hanging branch or something and eventually, I’d show up, walking.

She was some kinda “first horse”.

Made a great hellbent for leather rider out of me, though.

LOL

Maybe you got my horse. Did she answer to “Babe?”

sounds like my first experience w/ an real (quarter/std.) horse
@ full gallop...very scary, field w/ gopher holes!

Although very pretty, horses in general are the DUMBEST of farm animals. There maybe more stupid animals in the world but nothing, in my experience with life on a farm, surpasses the horse.

Pigs, however are very smart and will find a way to your vegetable garden if you don't keep your fences in good order and gates locked securely...
