I had my first fall today on Mason today. Martha and I went on a trail and on our way back Mason threw his head down and gave a huge ass buck! It thew me on his neck and I slid off and not long after he booked it up towards the run in sheds back down the new grass area, slid towards the hay bails and booked it towards the training rock cradle. At first I thought good, he has no where to go so he'll stop. Then I saw that look in his eye that looked like he was going to jump it! But he turned around and started to go up to the house and then some how made it down the driveway. If it wasn't for Dana and Boo in the ring I would have gone back to the barn to look for him. Turns out he BOOKED it down out towards the driveway. Dana was quick on her feet and called her dad and he booked it down from the garage in his golf cart, I jumped in and we headed towards the road. At first I thought he went to the bogs but nope... he took a left out of the driveway and from his hoof prints looks like he galloped all the way down Old Sandwich Rd. Thankfully there was a car that must have stopped him because he was just hanging around with the car.
He saw me and started to walk towards me with the 'sorry mom but I just needed to gallop, I didnt mean to make you mad' look on his face. Damn, I have never been so mad at him before! Once I got him I hand walked him back. Dana came out with Boo to see where we were and we all walked back together.
I hosed Mason off and saw he had a couple of scrapes, but nothing major thank goodness! When I had him on the cross ties and brushing him you could tell he was feeling really bad. I'm still pissed but need to look at the big picture and be thankful he wasn't hurt.
