I'm sitting here pondering some of the deeper mysteries of the equine brain after our ride yesterday! I think our run of spring spookiness is coming to an end. For weeks my horse has been randomly terrified of pretty much anything and everything, including developing a terror phobia of spray bottles and a small baby pink sponge.
But here is the list of things she didn't spook at yesterday:
-Mountain biker in neon green taking a colossal nose dive after hitting a pothole
-Floating plastic bag that wafted under her feet
-A JAS fighter jet breaking the sound barrier
The jet was so loud I thought a bomb had been dropped! I felt it in my chest and all the trees rustled like crazy, but the only reaction my mare was to stop, prick her ears and gaze vaguely into the distance. In the news that evening they reported that the boom was so loud it was heard 3 counties away and hundreds of people had called the police, but it didn't merit a spook apparently!
Anybody else experiencing signs that spring madness is finally coming to an end?
