When your horse bucks off your friend....
...you feel really bad!
Sometimes when one of us goes out of town we'll ask a good friend to ride our horse a couple of times while we're gone.
Usually when that happens, I get really nice reports when I come back, like, "I love Moon," "You're horse was so good," "You're horse is so fun to ride," "I love how Moon jumps." And I always smile and remember what an amazing horse I have and how lucky I am to have him.
I adore Moon, but this time the report was different. My friend rode him and he returned the favor by bucking her off. Moon just looked at me innocently with his big brown eyes when I asked him about the bucking off incident. My friend's not mad, but maybe she'll think twice about volunteering to ride him next time!

My best friend's family got a retired race horse, Mr. Bubbles, and us girls decided to ride him one day out in the field - without her parents knowing, no saddle or anything.
Well, I got elected to try first as I was always saying how much I loved to ride horses. I was also the first to get bucked off. We then had a half hour debate over getting back on - she said as I was the one that got bucked I should be the one to get back on him, I felt as it was her horse she should be the one to get on.
We both agreed that we couldn't allow him to get away with this and eventually age won out - she was a year older than me and she demanded I get back on.
It really was great fun, thank you for bringing back a loving memory from days past.
