One of the first things we did when we got back is go for a ride on Emu and Duchess. The clouds were promising some rain, and they fulfilled the promise by the end of the lovely ride across Peter's fields, the cemetery (cows) at the back, the creek (Duchess loves splashing, and so does Niki!). Curiously, and neither of us had experienced this every before, as we riding (at walking gait) against the rain, suddenly the horses became fidgety. After a minute or so, we realised (and then saw it happen) that all they wanted to do was to turn around and put their bums against the rain, rather than their faces. Good thing we weren't cantering ... Anyway, we felt we'd better be safe than sorry, dismounted and walked the horses back to their paddock...
Shadow had only one thing to say - "Really...? Did you really have to wake me up for that story?"
