I always wanted to ride a horse.
My brother took me to a place were I could ride one.
Being the rugged outdoorsman that I am, I try horseback riding even though I had no lessons or prior experience.
I mounted the horse unassisted, and the horse immediately springs into motion.
It gallops along at a steady and rhythmic pace, but I begin to slip from the saddle.
In terror, I grab for the horse's mane but cannot get a firm grip.
I try to throw my arms around the horse's neck, but I slide down the side of the horse anyway.
The horse gallops along, seemingly impervious to me slipping off.
Finally, giving up my grip, I leap away from the horse to try and throw myself to safety.
Unfortunately, my foot has become entangled in the stirrup, and I am now at the mercy of the horse's pounding hooves as my head is struck against the ground again and again.
As my head is battered against the ground, I was mere moments way from unconsciousness.
It is at this point that the Wal-Mart manager runs over to shut off the horse. |
