Horse Shy (2012)
“Delilah was unusually docile coming off the trailer, but it turned out that Barq hated getting off as much as he hated getting on. Red O’Malley got a nasty kick on his shin. He grimaced, but said it was okay. Carole thought it would be swollen and black-and-blue for a long time. Horses were big animals, and strong. If you were going to spend a lot of time with them, you had to be prepared to get hurt some of the time. Red didn’t complain; he knew that, too.
Finally, the horses were unloaded, an...d the camping and picnic gear was loaded onto a van that would meet them at the rendezvous for lunch and then the overnight campsite.
“I hope the truck doesn’t get lost,” Carole joked with Lisa and Stevie.
When their horses were all off the van, the riders each fetched tack and began saddling.
“I always hate tacking up—especially when Comanche’s in a bad mood,” Stevie said. “But Comanche’s standing still today. I think he’s as eager to get going as I am!”
