Oh, I did a stupid thing for a guy that's been around horses my entire life. I was leading 3 mares in from the turn-out paddock. One was in heat because of the warm weather, and she's always bitchy when she's horsing so I had her on my right and the other 2 on my left. Missy Pissy started screaming and kicking just as we were going through the gate... one of the others ran backwards to escape the kicking. All I had to do was let go (hell, they're easy to catch if they get loose) but I was focusing on the kicker and hanging on with the other hand. Bottom line: Hand raked across steel gate and fractured middle finger. My Bride needed to go to her Mom's in St Louis, so I lost my designated driver, anyway.
Thanks to TonyB I still got to watch on my computer. Thanks Bud!
Not so easy when you don't have some lowly stable boy to boss around, now is it ?
I doubt its one that you raced by me cause they were very well behaved, hope your flippin finger heals
quick.
