To 4x4 or Horse ride.... I know the Answer !!!!

Post by Stubs »

Well last weekend decided to do some Horse riding with the Girlfriend and her Bru (Stekel)...what started off as a pleasant afternoon, trotting, galloping, walking etc etc things decided to go suddenly pearshaped !! :blushing:

The Horse and I had a miscommunication resulting in me wanting to go straight on, The horse however wanted to go left and did and I however went right..... :o:

The result was me being thrown off and dumped unceremoniously, dragged about 20 meters whilst my foot was stuck, once my foot came loose I ended up under the horse which was now obviously trying to get out of the way, which resulted in her stepping on my arm....... :blackeye:

So 2 cracked ribs, twisted ankle, black/blue grazed arm, probably mild concussion everything is hunky dory.... :taunt:

I take my hat off to they guys that Race horses professionally, rodeo etc as they make it look so easy.....

Will I go riding again, yes, I got straight back on only to be bucked off again as she wasnt happy...this time landing with no addtional injuries...... :taunt:

Laat dit vir jou 'n les wees - Moet nooit jou Hilux verneuk nie!! :banned:

If you are a diesel fan, raise your hand.
If you aren't raising your hand, raise your standards!

A 4x4 is merely a machine that enables you to get stuck further away from civilization.

Eina Bliksem... Stu that looks freeking sore! I've tried my hand at horse riding as well, was very lucky not to land you with similar injury!

Hope everything heals before the inter-club challenge/year-end function... you might score extra points for bravery!

All that from 1 horse power?
Just because it says "4WD" doesn't make it an off-road vehicle.
