We were ground work with the horse on the rail and the western stirrup somehow got caught on the edge of a panel and pulled the thing on on the horse and us. Young horse, she did freak out but not nearly as bad as one would think. Having a thinking horse is sure good in such situations. Otherwise things could go horribly wrong.<br /><br />I'm glad that you're both safe.Rising Rainbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239592070775412669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455485508881407962.post-73659147337865176872010-10-30T18:28:38.904-04:002010-10-30T18:28:38.904-04:00Oh wow...another trail(arena) angel story!

I would have been estatic(sp?)! <br />Baby Doll did something like your stool situation, when I had left my camera up on the round pen fence. The camera case loop was stuck on the locking pin and I kept having to walk past it on Baby Doll's back to try and grab it, but I kept missing it, either when I moved her too far past or when she wasn't close enough to the fence panel.<br /><br />Finally after about 4 tries, I moved her into the middle of the round pen and just sat for a moment, devising a plan, when all of a sudden Baby Doll just walked over to the fence panel, side-passed up to it, and stood right next to my camera. I laughed right out loud and gave her a huge hug!<br />She knew what I wanted and got me there. She stood still until I released my camera and then we moved off together.<br />That was a good moment I had with her. Thanks for bringing that memory :)<br /><br />I'm really happy that you and Gilly are connecting on a deeper level and reading each other's minds. It's wonderful, too that he wanted you to mount up. What an honor!<br /><br />Yay!<br /><br />~LisaLaughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455485508881407962.post-1915615240184840982010-10-28T14:33:56.158-04:002010-10-28T14:33:56.158-04:00AWWWW!

The last time I rode in the round pen, my outside foot kept banging up against the posts on the metal panels making a clanging sound and Bombay was familiar enough with the sound that he knew he needed to move to the inside more away from the fence. Years ago he used to teleport sideways when that would happen, because the sound startled him so much. Fortunately, I haven't gotten my foot or stirrup stuck yet.Nuzzling Muzzleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649710635013663900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455485508881407962.post-46817182161881208442010-10-27T21:08:47.792-04:002010-10-27T21:08:47.792-04:00Good boy Gilly !!!

I was coming out of the round pen and opening the gate on her back. I grabbed the gate and she anticipated moving around it to go out and I was bareback so before I could shut it she kept going and well, I guess I didn't think and held onto the top of the gate and my horse went in the other direction. This left me in a heap on the ground and Indigo backed up a few steps wide eyed like HOW DID YOU GET DOWN THERE!?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14523660446608394720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455485508881407962.post-49515970755550941942010-10-27T20:12:26.354-04:002010-10-27T20:12:26.354-04:00Wonderful horse, indeed!
