Yikes, Terry! What a nightmare of a ride! I'm so glad i don't have to deal with horses on our trails after hearing about that. Geez, and then the thought of possibly crashing in horse doo-dee isn't all that appealing either Good thing you landed in a bush! (I hope that was a good thing)

I'm glad you came out alive and in one piece,
barely! I'm sure that bruise is going to look, oh so lovely, in a day or so.

I hope you're not scarred by that incidence and are out riding again soon!

Cheers,
Kristina
