LOL Good thing it wasn't your mom in that rescue mobile because she probably would have been a wreck with worry!

However, she took me on many a wild ride. One time she took off on a dead run, stumbled coming up out of the ditch, rolled right over top of me. I could see the saddle horn over me...so I'm quite certain God lifted her up Lynn Squirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493660128797850584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139112422565969072.post-59072498813216374372012-02-16T11:46:35.411-05:002012-02-16T11:46:35.411-05:00Oh, love these horse posts, Lynn!

I remember when researching the Shawnee for CML that Indian/native males rode stallions and the women in the tribe rode mares. I'd never given it much thought.

I was not strong-willed enough for him and he decided to lay on his side with me still on him. It was the hand of God that allowed me to get undone from the stirrup in time before he completely rolled over to scratch his back. Willful, indeed!

Then he decides to turn into driveways and meander through ditches or turn around to come home. He knows she's a novice and he takes advantage. Naughty boy! He doesn't do that with anyone else.Pegg Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17113756304449398701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139112422565969072.post-29002068591594713972012-02-15T23:00:50.523-05:002012-02-15T23:00:50.523-05:00"Well now, I hope ye have come away with some..."Well now, I hope ye have come away with some good knowledge."<br /><br />Indeed. Thank you Lynn (and Nathaniel). I keep well away from horses in practice these days, but I love them in theory. And since my characters have great need of them, I do plenty of theorizing. :)Lori Bentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04714197239425827339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139112422565969072.post-33420925648020521362012-02-15T21:24:35.924-05:002012-02-15T21:24:35.924-05:00Thank you, Joan.
