Omg. Nicole fell during turnout today. You'd think my mare, with her education, would have a modicum of dignity, but no. She reared, while still attached to her leadline, scrambled away when released, and promptly slid in the mud, landing on her fat mare belly. See, Nicole doesn't just get turned out. She makes it an event, and makes sure EVERYONE notices her in all her nutbar glory.
To make matters worse, she got a hoof stuck in the fence momentarily, but Nic doesn't panic at stuff like that, and managed to dislodge herself with enough agility to go galloping across the 1/4 acre she had to run around in, snorting away. Apparently, this was my invitation to indulge in games of the equine kind. We spent the next 1/2 hr playing tag and finding treats to eat.
