It’s our house that is the site of the family Christmas. This year we held it on December 9th. I like to have the horses home when the family celebrates Thanksgiving and Christmas, so JR came home for the weekend. It was warm here in Missouri and so the kids got to ride a horse! The little kids choose JR to ride, since he’s the cutest and friendliest!
I put the Parelli bareback pad on him and hoisted up the oldest child. We walked quite a ways and things were cool. The next kid got on JR and we walked far out into the yard. I was walking right along with JR occasionally rubbing my shoulder with his nose and ALL of A SUDDEN, I dropped to the ground like I’d been shot! I fell into a golpher hole. I flailed on the ground for a moment trying to get to my feet. THANK GOD, JR just stood there and looked at me. He didn’t jump or flinch. The child was safe and not scared to death. JR is now priceless!
I told the two girls that they got to ride JR before me. They were 2nd and 3rd to ride JR. My turn is coming!
