Here is Abbie after a little rodeo. She and I were riding today near the Virgin River when we stopped and let the horses drink. I was riding my buddy’s horse and I was leading Tiny with a lead rope, Abbie was riding tiny and Tiny started stomping his right front hoofs in the water splashing really hard. Then I noticed he bent all 4 legs and laid down in the 4’’ deep water with Abbie on his back. Abbie just kind of rolled off and landed in the water. Scarred her to death. So she didn’t want to get on tiny anymore. So I put her on the other horse. Then I climbed on tiny, (remember tiny only had a lead rope) tiny decided to run back to the ranch. I was going full throttle on a kid’s saddle and no reins. I passed Abbie like she was going backwards. I finally managed to stop tiny. When I jumped off tiny the horse Abbie was riding went flying past but Abbie wasn’t on. When the dust settled I saw Abbie walking up the trail. Of coarse she was already wet and now dirty from head to toe. She said that she couldn’t hold on any longer and fell off. From Darin
