About Hazel and "THE HORSE."
We were on a marriage enrichment retreat several year ago, and on Saturday afternoon of the retreat we were going on a trail ride. Now to set the scene, my wife is all of 4' 7" tall. She got on the (smallest) horse, but could still not reach the stirrups. As her horse started moving, Hazel started swaying from side to side, screaming the whole way, "I'm going to fall off, I'm going to fall off." For those who don't know my wife, she talks very loud to begin with. The trail ride lasted all of about 45 minutes, but it seemed like 3 hours to her. By the time the ride was over, nearly everyone that was riding, was about ready to wet themselves. It was one of those, you had to be there experiences. I wish I had it on video tape!!!
When we woke up Sunday morning, Hazel could hardly walk, it was like watching a cartoon of a bow-legged person just getting off a horse. The inside of both of her thighs, all the way to her knees, were completely black and blue from fighting the horse. It was then that Hazel said she would never get on a horse again!!!
As a matter of fact, Hazel has trouble with the horses on the merry-go-round at WDW, everytime we get on the merry-go-round, she brings up the ride of her life at the retreat!!!
So, when you see Hazel in August, make sure you invite her to go horse back riding, just wait and see what kind of response you get!!!
This is going to be a really fun cruise!
We can't wait to meet some of you and see "old" friends!
