Stupid is as stupid does.....

This is Cowboy, yet another love of my life! He is 8 years old, 16.2 hands high, approx. 1200-1300 lbs. and thinks he is a big black dog. He is a people horse and loves interacting with anyone and everyone! He is constantly licking you, nudging you, following you, grabbing you, and hugs you to his chest until you think he might crush you. Every moment spent with Cowboy is a moment spent with God (or in last Tuesday's case, trying to meet God!)

Against the docs orders, I decided to go riding a week after my surgery. It was such a beautiful day and I just couldn't help but saddle up and enjoy. Cowboy seemed to be doing just fine until I decided to give him his rein and let him go on a dead run in the field East of my place. Long story short, he got a little over zealous, threw me over his head, and ran over me stepping on my leg. Thanks to a farmer driving by who saw "the empty horse go running by", I managed to make it back to the house and get Cowboy put away. Once again, a lot can sure happen in a minute!
