Another ……………………….Why Me!

Well this is a follow on as promised re the Trec ride to day. In all things there are problems, but I have to ask, why me?
Finished work at 6am, got home for  half past. Loaded Jeep, loaded trailer with hay and water.
Went for horse……………………………….Saw horse in field, I stop and with halter call her, she responds. Canters across field, and as the gets closer I am able to see that one of her shoes has been sprung! F*** Me!!  Getting closer still, and off it comes, lands in mud right at my feet. Complete with piece of hoof wall!!! F*** Me!!!!
It is now 7am, what to do? No shoes on the other horse, he is also covered in muck. Other horse too young. Other horse only 10 hh`s!
Brain in meltdown! Depression setting in! Throws halter to the floor! Stamps foot! Swears aloud, and F`s and blinds like a trooper.
Finally in complete frustration…………………he screams …….AAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!  Why me!!!!!!!

  9. So frustrating, that's horse for you! There's always next time while the horse is still fit and well, a shoe is easily sorted.
