That Was Lucky
I got kicked by a horse this afternoon.
I know it doesn't sound like I was lucky, but aside from light bruising and some soreness, there are no ill effects.
Since the wife broke her hip last month, I have been doing the barn chores. Tonight was worming medicine time and that went well. Everyone was munching hay in their stalls and I had just placed a full bucket of water on the hook in the big gelding's stall and was walking out to get a second one when I felt the blow just above my left knee on the side. I am always whistling or singing or talking to the equines while I am around them so they know I am there. I have no idea what posessed the silly old bugger to lash out.
I am glad I was able to walk away.
Stay safe out there.
Best
Les
