HELLO! I've been out on a western style, guided trail ride. Today (everday) we went over to the Los Angeles Equestrian Center and into the hills of Griffith Park. I choose not to take a longer ride BUT give this a go ---> and rides leave every 15 minutes... so i choose to ride with 8 other girls, all riding Mares. Guess next time we can ride to view the HOLLYWOOD Sign on a 3 hour tour... JUST 4 TODAY- total 10 of us rode a trail. It was a over cast day and my horse (i call Circus) was beautifully trained. I enjoyed my ride very much! (Thank you!)- I did not have any fear of falling off and the risen dirt and dust sure did bring alot of attention to my eyes... since i rode the trail end- i inhaled much dust, which was NO problem. Without reason and thoughts of anyone getting hurt; we giggled and laughed and talked to each other and viewed the scenery. At times i viewed our guide "fetch" a few items such as sunglasses (tried to keep my horse from stomping on them), a camera & a camera lens cover ... guess this is why the Wrangler gets a 15% tip...???! idk. Anyhow; We all moved "freely" forward... walking, canteer and just a tad gallop... NO jumps or anything fancy, would need more LESSONS! ;D (do plan on taking private lessons for alot lesser price than $300.00)- ANywho?..! ...? Maybe some of these horses need to burn off excess energy... cause towards the tail end of our RIDE... the girl i spoke to (pictured above in the pic w/white jacket)... she spoke Spanish /English FLuent so was able to translate a few words so that the guide & I could understand each other...well; i was about to ask her if she wanted me to take her picture using her camera while riding (never did)- and all of a sudden her horse picked up speed (guess she did not pull the reins hard enuf)- and i watched her ride a line, while looking as if she was not balanced on her saddle, and thought she would be able to get straight and stop the horse, then she FELL OFF! RIGHT ON HER RUMP! - Matter of fact i "think" it was a hard fall and she tried to brace her landing with pressure and the FALL BROKE HER ARM!!! I was in total "SHOCK" ... like @ first i did not believe her... thoughts of her Clown'in me, and she had a prosthesis and had her right arm bent back at the elbow in the other direction... like she had a rubber arm and it was double jointed.... not the case of ILLUSIONS... COWGIRL fell off her horse (did not cry), just silly to "think" someone culd take a horse back ride and refraim from comparisons... like some "WILD" manuever to get my attention to become of some CAST, geez, i'm going to hold on to my seat...(and this memory) that was a bumpy RIDE! FUN, BUT Ruff, ruff! I wish i had a way to get in touch with this girl that fell off her horse so that i know she is OK! Maybe sign the cast? .... YOU DEFINATELY need to sign paper work before MOUNTING on a horse and REALLY, really, really need to have MEDICAL INSURANCE! :D
Lots of Broken Bones; belt buckles n-gold! Yippie! It's boots and chaps, it's cowboy hats It's spurs and latigo, it's the ropes and the reins And the joy and the pain and they call the thing Rodeo...
