The Domino Effect.

Winter is here, which means that the indoor arena can get crowded. Nobody wants to ride outside when there's a foot of snow, so we take our chances inside. At any given time, there are eight or more horses in there. When everything is going right, eight horses in the arena is not a big deal. The trouble starts when one horse takes off and the others do the same. Before you know it, every horse is circling the arena at different paces, and some of them are out of control. Sometimes riders on little ponies nearly get run over by riders on 17 hand tall horses. And then there's the dust they all leave behind as they gallop around. It feels a little bit like rush hour. And although I can't drive yet, I think I'm learning defensive driving skills.

We already freeze in the winter, can't the horses be on good behavior when we're all cold? Why do they wait until it's 16 degrees out to decide to be naughty?

Only six more months until summer. I hope I survive.
