(That's a good one, firefly.)
Lives in the balance
floating horse
((happened to me one day racing with a friend on horseback - NOT related to anything associated with 'Broke Back Mountain'.........
We were racing and came to a creek filled with water - the ponies stumbled and fell - we went tumbling......... into the water.......... In laughter............
Simply a true story........... :wink:
horse saddle
(yes I thought I would be a smart a*s and open the farm gate while still on my horse, I got my finger stuck in the gate and the damn horse bolted on me!!-I can laugh now)
saddle sore
(My one and only ride on a horse was visiting a farm with my ex-sister-in-law when we were teenagers. She hoisted me, bareback, onto the horse (a Clydesdale), which took off through the orchard at about forty miles per hour, with me hanging on like grim death. Seems it was trained to do his so her uncle could check the trees quickly every day. I was petrified with fear. Years later one of my brothers told me how she had described how silly I looked, and they all thought it a great joke! I have made friends with many horses since then, even rogues that no one else dare approach, but I will never mount a horse again!)
sore knee
(That must have been a terrifying experience for you Lezzles! I'm glad you weren't injured!)
