Howdy y'all,
The other day I started trail working a ten year old marsh tacky gelding I acquired app. 8 mos. ago. Earlier this year, during some ring work, he reared up and landed side ways with a rider. ( that was my first clue). I continued to train him in the ring without mishap. He stayed stiff as a board and always wanted to be near the other horses. He began to soften a little so I decided to trail ride him. Soooooooo.....
We was doing ok while I was checking his want to go back to his buds. Ya see there was this grapevine that I went to in order to partake of its wonderful fruit. I kept checking him and eating grapes. Well..... the next thing I knew I was being vigorous backed into them vines and then he went reared straight up in the air and we crashed to the ground with him laying on my leg. My left shoulder got clobbered upon contact with the ground.( Its still sore ) Heck, I had to miss yoga this week.
He just boarded a trailer for his new home in Hampton. Moral : There are too many good mounts in the world for me to risk injury and death on this dangerously disobedient one.
The older I get, the longer it takes to heal and I ain't gonna take it no more!!!!
