Chapter 4

I was determined not to let one single incident with the horse scare me off from learning how to ride one. I had successfully walked away from my previous lessons so I did not imagine this one to be any different. I knew it was a wild animal, but in a way, so were people. I suppose we at least had that in common. There had to be a joke somewhere in that statement but I couldn’t quite think of it at the moment.

I knew better than to try to ride a horse alone. If I had been injured then no one would be there to help me. It reminded me of how I would tell elderly patients or those who were disabled to sign up for a program that would help them if they fell or were otherwise injured. I liked it that some had necklaces or bracelets that the patient could wear. The range of these buttons was now increasing so the person could go farther and farther away the machine and still be able to get help.

My companion soon did join me and helped me get onto the horse. At least I was getting better and only needed a bit of a boost instead of having someone practically grab onto my hips and shove me up onto the horse. It could’ve been worse and I could’ve had my butt grabbed by a complete stranger... I should count my blessings there.

My companion and perhaps even instructor was a teenage girl who went by Josie. As much as I hated to admit it she closely resembled the stereotype of a teenage girl on a ranch. She was tanned, had a few freckles, and her auburn hair was tied back in two braids and fastened with narrow pieces of ribbon. She wore boots, jeans, and a button down shirt.

I felt somewhat awkward wearing basic all-purpose shoes, jeans, and a blouse. Perhaps I should’ve changed into something more practical? This, of course, raised the question of what would be more practical?

If Josie noticed my attire she gave no sign and was happy to start the lesson. She had a love of horses and was more than eager to teach anyone how to ride.

The beginning of my lesson started off fairly normally with learning how to sit in the saddle as well as the important commands of “stop” and “go” though they did not call it that. I did jokingly think it would be easier to say “go” and “stop” at the horse but if they did recognize and even understand words I didn’t know if they’d learn the other commands.

The lesson began simply enough with learning how to stop, go, making sure the horse knew you wanted to turn. Sometimes I wanted to go in one direction and the horse wanted to go in the other. Some things were easier as they went in the direction that you wanted because you turned a wheel or a rudder.

I had thought we were about to turn back and head on home when Josie screamed.
