Allison ate dirt!!!

Today was most definitely NOT a normal horsey day. When I grained the horses, I mixed hot water with Gus's, and made it a nice warm mash. It was SO much easier for him to chew. My Gussers was very happy with me.

But, that's not even the big moment of today!! ALLISON ATE DIRT. And omg, was it FUNNY. So, we're turning the horses out. Its super super slick, because of all the rain. Well, Gus decides that he wants to take off. Allison didn't let go of the lead rope [of course she wasn't going to let him get away with that kind of behavior.] Instead of stopping, like he normally does, Gus continues to run. It was like I was watching the scene in slow motion. All the sudden Allison is standing two feet above ground, and then shes falling forward. She hit the ground with a huge THUD, and then was dragged a few feet. She did like a belly flop on the ground. Ouch... Gus and Cash ran off, and Buck [who really wanted to run with them but didn't dare try because I was holding him] decided that he was going to be good. Luckily, Allison is alright. We [mostly me LOL] we DYING with laughter. Holy crap, I think I busted a rib from that. I was like doubled over, trying to breathe.

We then had to walk all the way down to the end of the field, grab Gus, bring him back to gate, and re-turn him out so he learned that that kind of behavior is unacceptable. And oh boy did he learn. He was scared spit less of us. He knew what he did wrong.
