Adventure 5!?

This week I went to the ranch and ventured out onto a new trail. The run was going well for a while until we got about a mile away from the ranch. The horse I was running with knew we were close and was getting really impatient. This particular horse also has a really week hind end due to a lack of exercise. We reached a point in the trail were the dirt was really loose, the hill was steep, and the trail was small. I started walking down it with Andrew walking directly behind me, he stepped on my heel and then tripped. I stopped so maybe he could catch his breath. Instead of catching his breath, he got frustrated that we were stopping when we were so close to the ranch. He started popping up right next to me to protest and then just took off. Being on a hill with loose dirt and tired from the hike, I neither had the energy or the leverage to even attempt to bend him back to me. So I let go. I stood on the hill as I watched him gallop over the rolling hills, I could see took the long way back to the ranch. At first I was mad because I had failed, but after realizing that there wasn’t much I could have done I laughed at the event. When I had made my way back to ranch, I saw Andrew standing quietly by the gate waiting for me to lead him to his stall.
