You remain a rockstar in my eyes LOL- of course, just driving the bus puts you there!Broke many many bones. I still ride and show horses, in fact bought my 'go big or go home' show horse last fall and just showed him in the first show a week ago.
OK, I started laughing right there! Many years ago I rode a friend's horse . Rock solid around moving trains, runaway horses, his Achilles heel was string. First time I got dumped it took a while to figure out what was the problem. I told friend and she laughed, she had forgotten to tell me of his abject fear of string.fine....until that dog needed some stitches and came home with a cone on his head.
Friend was 9 months and miserable to get things moving along, so she talked other friend into taking her for a surrey ride behind second friend's Belgian gelding - a good long road drive. Now, Mikey could and often did pull that light little surrey up hill with the traces loose, just on the bit and lines. (Draft horses want to bear down on the lines when they dig in to work. Let's just say...the driver is well aware!) I drove him a lot too, so we both knew how it went with him and the awesome power there in reserve if things ever went south. Guess I got roped in as moral support and baby catcher in case this thing blossomed earlier than expected. The non-wisdom of the plan was apparent to us, but Mom-to-be was insistent.Over the years, I have told many of my pregnant friends who ride to just don't. But they say, "my horse never spooks!"
You never know and it's not worth it.
No Tulsa/OKC is about as far as we go so far. Most are around KC.Rafter, do you get this far out on the Circuit to get to Prescott, Ball, and Turben (or whatever they adjusted the name to??)
RELIC and I have done a couple of the Chagrin Valley shows as Med Vols, but we haven't done PB&T yet....
Omen? Nope. Some idiot dropped a load of building materials right next to the horses while they were on their morning drills. They are lucky the resulting carnage wasn't worse.In the old days this would have been taken as an Omen. How do trained riders all get thrown off their horses at the same time? Assuming those horses didn't go all bucking bronco style, which most trained horses do not do.
I'm taking it as an omen. All the Paki's and Indians running the British Isles now better stop oppressing the native populations, and stop poking the Bear.
Whatever the cause, Omens are Omens. 5 riders not worth their salt over some jittery horses? I've been on a few ornery horses that were hard to control. You have to have an incredibly difficult horse, like a bucking bronco to knock off a trained rider. I'm not saying that didn't happen, but I think the circumstance odd, and I do think Universe sends messages.Omen? Nope.

You've never been on a *seriously * spooked horse, one where "fight or flight" has kicked in and made them almost literally blind as they run *away* from whatever danger they perceived.Whatever the cause, Omens are Omens. 5 riders not worth their salt over some jittery horses?

Try reading the previous posts on this thread. Riders come off spooking horses all the time. Only non-horse people think this is strange.In the old days this would have been taken as an Omen.
