Seriously, You can't make this stuff
up (horses)
2003 I
finally talked Mark into getting a horse...for the girls of course! We bought a beautiful Arabian
named Deirdre. The first summer we had her we didn't have money for a saddle,
so we rode bareback. One day I was cantering around the lawn when suddenly, I
Knew I was going over her front shoulder. I hit the ground head first (stupid
me had no helmet). K1 comes running over, she was eight years old. Crying &
screaming because her horse is loose. REALLY!!! I am literally for the first
and only time in my life seeing stars. I take her by the shoulders & tell
her to go get her dad. While she is doing this I walk over to Dee who is about
20 feet away happily munching grass. Guess we know her priorities.
Fast forward
to 2007, we now have 3 horses (one for each girl). My nephew gets married, and
my good friend who happens to be a hairdresser does my hair. When she does an
updo your hair never moves thanks to lots of bobby pins & hairspray. We had
a great time & lots of fun with the
captain. 6 a.m. the dogs bark, and then
the phone rings. Our neighbor tells us
that our three horses just ran down the driveway & were heading down the road. Guess that's what the dogs
were barking at! You can just imagine what I looked like running down the road
in my pj's with crazy hair (I removed the 50ish bobby pins before bed, so now
it's just a mess) far behind the very fast running horses. Thankfully, it was
early & only a few people saw me. Mark is smart & follows in the truck.
I finally catch the horses just before they reach Route 30 .Now, I have one in each hand & the third is
following behind. I am walking them through the tall grass next to the road.
The grass is very wet causing my bottoms to keep slipping down, but my hands
are full. So, now I am the crazy lady with very bad hair, in her pj's, with
plumber's crack and out of breath!
R.I.P. Dee-
Dee (1987 -2010)...we will never forget
you, you were the BEST horse!
