Just horsing around

JUST HORSING AROUND They said there's nothing to it if I could get astraddle, so I put my foot into the stirrups and my butt into the saddle. She must have known it was the first time I'd ridden, as she gently walked the bridal path and seemed to do my bidding. I relaxed a little bit as things seemed to go my way; I thought I might reward her with a carrot and some hay. My riding pardner swears the mare gave him a wink before she rushed up to a pond and dumped me in the drink. Joyce Guy Written December 26th, 2001 © on Dec 26 2001 12:12 PM PST   0 • 14
