What a Ride!

On Monday Betsy and three of her students brought their horses to train in the arena and go for a little trail ride. The main purpose was to expose their horses to different surroundings and scary environments. They all signed waivers just in case something bad happened. Well, something bad did happen but not to them. My steady, trusty horse, Doc, threw a temper tantrum and reared up. I fell backward off him, landing on the ground on my back. Ouch. Nothing really bad happened but my back is a bit sore. Doc has never reared in the ten years I've owned him. He must have really been upset about the disruption in his routine. We're going to have to fix that.
