Say Goodbye.....Well, after a week at home, being line lunged, and ridden in the round pen, Dakota (my palamino gelding with the issues) decided to take off with me on him Friday. It was extremely scary, especially when he tried to rub me off on the crape myrtle tree. I guess that was preferable to being beheaded by the clothesline behind it. I was/am extremely upset. To top things off, I tore the muscle/ligament in my right calf just like the left I did two months ago. It's not as bad, although the bruising is somewhat colorful. Jim and I were planning a trail ride with both horses, needless to say he rode off on Copper, and Dakota went back in the pasture. You would think that after four horses in the last two years, I would have found a good one by now. I am not having the best of luck in that area. Thank God for Copper! I probably would have given up by now if I didn't have him to ride.
I have had my truck wired with a brake box recently, but found that my horse trailer had been "modified" with the wrong plug. I took the trailer in yesterday, and had it rewired so the brakes would work on the trailer. Very helpful when hauling! I don't know what the reasoning was for the past wiring situation, but now it's fixed, and we're safe to travel.
I'll keep posting on my ongoing horse saga. Pray for a good one!
