Title: Message

We non-endurance riders are far too refined to go it on trail (ugh!!).  Besides, we don't ride for long enough...

 

But there was this one time....we rode up to the local pub come ablution facilites along the river and I went to the loo in their outhouse.  It was a Monday morning so everything was closed and it was only my friend and me around (thank God for small mercies).  I was riding a young horse with zero manners who didn't know how to tie, and my buddy was on a rig, who was aggressive to other geldings, so the only thing I could do was go to the loo and park the horse outside, holding his reins so he didn't wander off.

 

Needless to say, he became bored with the scenery (not that I blame him) and wandered off when I was least expecting it, and yanked me head-first, bare-arsed straight out of the door, and I landed face-first in the dirt at his feet, my jods around my knees, and a wad of loo roll in my left hand.....

 

Riding is such a humbling experience....
