you guys were talking about your love of horses earlier

[Guest guest]

I had a horse on the farm when I was 12 years old. I put the saddle on

it, but hooked up the double cinch under the back legs. oops!!!!

Didn't know any better. Out of the barn she went this huge brown and

white horse I named Dolly. Well, SHE WEREN'T NO DOLLY!!!! lol She

started prancing around the yard there and all my relatives were

watching as it was my 12th b/day, she bucked so hard that Dad said if

he had a shotgun, she would have been a dead horse. Anyhow, next thing

I knew I was out like a light, she had thrown me into the barbed wire

fence and there I lay. Family put me in bed, called the 'town' doctor,

in a small town of 300 people then, and he came out and no xrays, but I

was in bed for 2 wks. Couldn't move, just bruised and bumped a lot.

GOOD GRIEF. That was it for me but I love the horse races. When I was

small and we lived in Jersey, Dad and Mom used to take us to Saratoga

NY for the surrey races. Fun days then.

ramble..........
