I was ponying Velvet yesterday while riding Sage. Velvet started to rear and
\nbuck and run back and forth on the “pony side”. I knew we had trouble in
\nRiver City!<\/p>\n
I had to concentrate on keeping my leg from getting tangled up in the lead.
\nVelvet also rubbed and pushed against Sage, pretty close to where my leg is
\nfastened on. Sage held firm. I lost all control of the rope and Velvet
\ngot behind Sage and up on the other side where she became snubbed. Her head
\nwas right above my knee and she couldn’t move. At least that helped me be
\nable to find the lead rope which was under the fender…and went around
\nSage’s rear end. I managed to get the lead rope loose and threw it Velvet’s
\nway. Velvet took off galloping. She went right into the barn.<\/p>\n
Sage and I trotted down to the barn. I got off and spied Velvet in the back
\nportion of her stall. I tied Sage up and came back to the stall where I had
\nto do battle with a huge bumblebee. It was waiting in attack mode. Thank
\ngoodnes, I was carrying the Sage’s fly mask. Me and the bumblebee did
\nseveral dances in the aisle and he finally gave up and flew away. Sage got
\nextra treats for staying calm and thus saving my life!<\/p>\n
Velvet got extra treats to make up for the stings.<\/p>\n
Today, Velvet has about a 2″ high\/4″ round circle on her rear end. That’s
\nprobably where the bee first stung her. She’s got some other smaller welts
\non her underbelly.<\/p>\n
