Accident on horseback

[Kooki]

Well....I'm at the emergency room 😩
I decided to try horseback riding yesterday evening. It turned out to be a freakin mistake! I got on the horse and started out slowly, but then we went a little faster; before I knew it, we were going as fast as the horse could go. The horse made a sudden jerk and reared up, and I couldn't hold on. I fell off, but my foot got caught in the stirrup. The horse kept bucking and running, and was dragging me and wouldn't stop. Thank goodness the manager of the grocery store came out and unplugged the machine. But then he had the nerve to take the rest of my quarters so I wouldn't attempt to drive the Batmobile, and told me to stay away from the handicap carts.

The beginning of the story really had me worried, especially the part about being stirrup-dragged by the horse.

If a joke has to be explained then its not a good joke but.. for those who may not remember there used to be mechanical horses outside of stores.  You put in a nickle and you would get a rocking horse ride for a short time.  Its for kids.  You dont see that much anymore.. but i just had to try it one more time.

The horsies are gone now? 😮 AND the rocket ships, too??

I mean, they say you die twice. One time when you stop breathing and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody says your name for the last time.

That means they are still with us, dont worry

Remember those machines they were a must to go on local fair. I remember used them couple of times, dangerous game, also remember to fall lots of times. 😅

I must say I was confused too at the beginning of your post as I thought you were riding a real horse. 🐎

This topic gettin' quite old and I hope everything is fine by now Kooki  

Thought the same that the accident was happened by a real horse. Getting caught in the stirrup with a running horse is a nightmare. I have seen it by myself few times. Once it was my gf riding one.  That feels like a meteor is hitting Earth and u can do nothing..
 I've been there and that's not something u wanna do with your spare time...last accident I had with a real horse gave me some injuries in the lower back as I was thrown down on the left side near some big rocks. It remembered itself for many months but now it's ok. 

But horses are great.  I guess even mechanical ones xD 
I used to ride once a week but now I haven't had that spare time unfortunately. Hoping not to fall when I do

Kooki you rascal :d

 

This made me go deep, deep into the misty memories of a long ago Rat child.  My memory was janky and sputtering like a 1965 Ford Falcon on its last legs so I called my mom.  she of course remembered the two machines at our local Safeway market round about 1968.  It was a Horse and a rockin Rocket.  Probably because she was the one who payed for the rides

[Heaven:)]

I didn't know you were into horses!

 

I own 2, well.. a horse and a pony!

 

What kind of horse was you riding? 😕 & Had it been broken in yet?

[hitthewaves84]

Haha! I thought it was a real horse you were talking about.

[Kooki]

@heaven, ive had several horses in my life.. my earliest memory was of a shetland who was mean(biting and would scrape you off on a tree.  Next we had a 17.5 hand mossouri walker he was nice to ride but had a problem with a front foot crossing a little.  Last one i has was a tennessee walker, good trail horse and good riding horse, He would go in any direction you pointed him.. He finally died of old age near 30.
