Idiot animal

[flick]

I was riding Benny in the school yesterday when some pigeons flew out of the hedge and startled him.

In the split second while that was happening, I fully expected him to spin away from them and head into the middle of the school.

But no, the idiot animal turned towards them. Which also meant towards the fence. And the gate post.

And as it happens, my leg was between him and it.



I've got a lovely lump on my shin now, and my knee is quite raw.

You need some real armour.

In his defence, we're currently running at one per year. Unlike with the previous psycho horse, who was more like one per month!

The committal hearing would be yours...

Fair enough!

+1 protection from fences and posts

+2 protection from bloody big bolts sticking out of gateposts...?

That part does not look like fun.

Not really. It's gone a lovely shade of green, but at least I can get my boots on now!
