Why would we want to walk over the flapping tarp thing??

As is Dh’s work from home day, I could go riding, so tacked up Samwell and we did a half off and half on the farm ride, he is a little herd bound with his girlfriend Brandy LOL. who gave herself a very very good workout racing around the pastures while we were riding off the farm, and then we settled down and I put Brandy on the cross ties and we used the horse equipment in the big pasture.

Sam is truly unsure why we would want to do this.. why go over and through the pile of poles, when we could just go around, why would we want to do figure eights, what do you mean, you want me to turn with softness ?

But the big one was, why o why would we want to walk over a scary white tarp in the field, we got to the do the side pass, the walk up an stop, the side step, the, hey farmgal, look we could ride over here?,

no, well how about over here?

well, then how about I just back up then?

No, really are you sure you want to do this?

don’t you understand, dark black mud is not scary to me, its just mud, water, no problem, I can do water but its white and flappy!

Did you hear me, rider on my back.. WHITE AND FLAPPY!

    Big yellow backhoes used to be the things for me. I nearly got my leg broken on a wall with a horse jumping sideways trying to get away from one. It’s funny how somethings they dont bat an eyelid and others are too scary to even contemplate! Glad the horse eating tarp wasn’t hungry today!

    • You just never know what it can be that sets them off 🙂 Glad you didn’t end up with a broken leg. Its proven very interesting to see the things that brandy does without a blink, and sam is the same, some things so easy with him, they are so different from each other in temperament and reactions

    Yeah well, not only is it white and flappy; but it’s hiding in the shadows of that tree; so it COULD be something waiting in ambush, y’know! ; )
