Tapsel-t, rats oin mazes become streetwise, horses tire of the inexperience or the foreignness of strangers, and frequently leopards change spots!

dog1net, I love that story as one of my successful happy hour stories that is actually true.  Thanks for the boost!

Whacky, Odd that anything so out of the norm can leave such a lasting impression!

kingmi, the last horse I rode (on a mountain trail) kept trying to rub me off every time we got near a tree.   I was glad to have a leg left by the time we got back to the stable.   I don't know why they named him Amigo.

One Last Run

I like how you tie the present experience into the past. Very vivid scene of the horse making its final run.

This reminded me
of the time a hot air balloon landed on the school grounds during math class. The whooosh of the propane tank caught our attention. Then when the balloon landed right in the school yard everyone, even the teacher, rushed out to see. I still haven't gone up in one...maybe this year..hummmmm.
