thankyou! I've had him since he was 2 months old, he turns 9 this week on the 24th. So hes only known his broken human
He can be a handful at times but even then he definitely looks after me and doesn't generally like others riding him. Except our coach, they are bros.
Here is a couple links of the footage my mum got of that. Slow being first time as need to work out my balance and coordination with things. There is also half of the obstacle course my friend managed to video horses definitely do have a 6th sense.
Great weekend at the Lower Lakes Stockmans Challenge Crackers Challenge 🙌💪 I am a disabled rider, this was our first ever Barrel Race!

This one's been stolen from someone who stole it.
This is a beaut:
- I was picking up a load and after they got me loaded, they told me, “You need to pull over there and tarp,” showing me an area that had a safety harness and cable.
I remember thinking that this was a GREAT idea, and even if I fell nothing could happen to me. WRONG! I put on the harness, hooked myself to the cable and upon top of the load I went.
Now this was an unusual load as it was a high stack on the front of the trailer, a low stack in the middle and another high stack on the back. I sweated to death, almost, and got the tarps stretched all over the load evenly and decided to get off the truck and go cool off before putting the bungee chords on everything. I did not want to climb down off the high stack on the back, onto the middle low stack and back up onto the high front stack. Do you see where this is going?
So I think to myself, ” I have on a safety harness, so why not just jump the four feet over to the other side?”
So I got me a little running start and away I went. As soon as I was airborne, the sensor on the pulley up above detected that I was moving at an unusual speed and it locked down on me.
My toes ALMOST touched my destination, and suddenly I was whiplashed and hanging like a pig in a slaughterhouse, out to the side of my truck I was propelled in the blink of an eye.
To make matters worse, the leg straps came up into my pelvic area at such a rapid speed that my shorts burst open in the front, my underwear ripped to one side and Mr. Hide-And-Seek and his neighbors popped out to have a look around.
I can’t pull my shirt down over anything as it is jammed into my moobs and armpits, and I cannot reach down to cover anything with my hands.
So there I sat spinning, and because of the pressure on my belly that was pushed up under my chin by now, I could look down and see everything I got for the first time in 10 years.
Each time I go in a full circle I can see the forklift operator about 300 feet away loading a truck and, he cannot hear me yelling.
Fortunately an old black man– I did not get his name; you will see why not later– DID see what happened and he jumped out of his truck to come help me.
He asked if I was OK, and as I spun slowly facing and flashing him, he said “White Boy, you is in a bad way.”
He is looking around for a release switch to let me down, but there is not one. I am thinking the entire time that at least he is the only person who saw this
WRONG again.
Out from the side, I hear the office people coming asking if I need an ambulance, and he is telling them to just stay back, and I yelled that I was not injured in any way.
The old man said there was only one way to get the pressure off the cable so it would release, and he got up under me and put a leg over each shoulder of his pushed up on me as I TEABAGGED his neck and shoulders and sure enough it let off and down we went slowly.
He came out from under me and walked away very rapidly to his truck and never looked back.
I regained my composure, got up into my truck and put on new shorts etc, and got back out. As I looked towards the offices, I noticed there were NO windows for the people inside to see what happened to me, and I remember wondering if I was actually screaming that loud for them to hear me a block away in the air conditioning.
I went to talk to the poor old guy that rescued me and asked if I could buy him dinner. He said “No sir, we already had our first AND last date and I am getting the hell out of here before anybody remembers my face.”
I finished putting straps on the load, drank a glass of tea from my cooler, and proceeded to the offices to get my paperwork. NOBODY inside would make eye contact with me except for the guy filling out the forms for my bills.
As I stood there looking around, lo and behold, there on the wall was a color monitor of surveillance with a close up view of my truck and the area where I had been hanging out. I just hung my head in shame, and the guy asked me if I was sure that I was not injured, and I told him I would be perfectly fine. Just a few burn marks from the seatbelt material on the safety harness.
He passed the paperwork to me under the glass, smiled and said, ” OK, Peter Pan, if you will sign right here we will have you on your way.”
Every staff member started snorting and blowing snot bubbles laughing at that point and so did I. I asked if they had recorded my incident and he said he was in the process of erasing it as we speak, and that he would have used it as a safety training video had I not made it X-rated
If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

Time to fess up Daniel.
Trust your 'nads have healed nicely.
A good yarn that, but a pity you didn't have photos to prove it wasn't you.
Took delivery of my off road power chair this week oh my goodness it is incredible!
Just the fight for the hand controls and lifter to lift this and the wheelchair in, and between these and my horse, no where I can't go (except maybe stairs but I think this thing would give them a good hard crack haha)
Hope everyone is all well
