Of course suspicious of horses. Horses are like cats in that they are uber (another German crossover word) smart but outweigh cars by a ton or two.
One of my best friends was a jockey.
Often tried to convince me horses weren't flatten-happy monsters, hungry to crush my skull.
Once gave me horse treats.
So I could feed the nice animals & bond.

Nothing is as tragic as a woman shrieking, "Omg, it's a killer!!!"
Whilst throwing a handful of horse treats defensively.:panic:
After cooking I going to Target to browse holiday stuff in piece.
Enjoy the night ladies!
I love the 1st new holiday items browse.
My eyes get big & excited.
All the glitter & colors!:loveeyes:
Enjoy some peace, my friend.
 
It was nice. Not too crowded. Just a couple whiny kids who should have been home in bed.
Your horse story gave me a big chuckle.
Horses don't scare me. Did a small bit of riding as Girl Scout.
Hate the grooming and giant piles of poo.

When I was a little girl, I told my parents that I wanted to be a horse rider though there were no horses around...My father put me on a donkey (:sad:) and took a picture of me yelling and asking for help....
That was the end of my short lived ambition .....

Yes. [emoji4]
But I have to say it was one of those innocent looking Haflingers that got me off her back and under her hooves and stepped on my right hand.

Very pretty. But that look. I wouldn't have felt at ease.
Was your hand broken?
Mostly we have American Quarter Horses around here. Laid back temperament.
Did you own the horses or go to a stable for lessons?

Donkey are sweet....on the other side of a paddock fence.

Donkeys are definitely less trustworthy than horses. [emoji3]
