My horse, Baby, behaves a lot like a dog. She'll follow me around and brush against my head with hers. I wouldn't say she is trained well enough for inexperienced riders though. (Sometimes I have to "circle" her around if she starts to get frustrated.) She has never bucked or kicked me. I hope you get the opportunity to ride again, this time with a more pleasant experience. :)<br /><br />-Stopping by from 20sbAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10300847152078620041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3637776590540690642.post-13789354767005566072010-02-02T20:20:12.785-08:002010-02-02T20:20:12.785-08:00Why would they tell you to kick her?

Clearly they didn't give you good instruction.<br /><br />I was kicked by a horse once -at horseback riding camp. I was brushing "Dr. Pepper" and s/he kicked a fly off her/his leg and hit me in the ass. I ran away to the pen where my friend was brushing her horse. Then when I had to ride her/him, the instructor told me "Dr. Pepper is the fastest horse in the barn." Excellent.<br /><br />I also had a pony named Hanzel knock over my instructors pop and drink it.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17510382962064055621noreply@blogger.com
