Trail Ride of Terror!

small burros.jpgMaddy and I have several trail rides we like, however one of them is too scary to ever take again. It's unfortunate, because it's a lovely trail, but it passes right by a field of these funny little creatures. Maddy and I think these little guys are cute, but our horses have a different opinion.

For some ridiculous reason, all of our horses are really scared of these little guys. When we ride by them it's like riding by a field of bobcats, or elephants, or whatever it is that scares horses the most. Our horses get big eyes, nervous stares and act as though their very lives are threatened by these cute little creatures. Are they donkeys? Mules? Burros? Whatever they are, evidently they pose some threat that I'm unaware of.

Our horses are also scared of moose, which we run into on occassion, but that at least I can understand, moose are really big, and not afraid of anything. But these guys? Go figure.

hi
just a little bit of infor. their donkeys.
meals are slightly bigger and are a donkey crossed with a horse.
you'll know their donkeys if they have a cross on their back.
its right up at their wither and stretches down in two line by their side. in most donkeys its very visible.
the myth has it that every donkey has a cross because thats where they helped jesus carry the cross on their backs.


weather you believe myths is up to you:D
