Her first fall...


It was bound to happen...a horsey-mom's worst fear...a child's first tumble from their mount! The Little Brat was trotting her Bo down the rail today, when he got a wild hair up his bum and cut back on her unexpectedly...it's not like the old man to maneuver himself so quickly, so it caught us both quite off guard! Horses will be horses though, and I was only about 20 feet away when it happened...not that proximity helped the impending heart attack at all! LB was wearing her helmet, and after a once over was deemed well enough to ride again...so we caught that ornery Bo, saddled back up, and took him for one more spin around the pen...LB handled it like a pro, and made her Mamma proud...so I think I can breathe now...
Dadgumit, WHY couldn't I just be a soccer mom???


Happy Trails,
Leah
