My Big Toe

[Carer]

OK, so it's an odd title, but here's the story behind it.

When I was a child, I was in a childrens home and every year went
to a Holiday camp. I would spend all my money going for horse rides.

One day, one of them stood on my foot and badly damaged the nail of
my big toe. I now have problems with it because the nail doesn't grow
like the others but is really thick and can't be cut easily.

It didn't put me off horses though, I was right back there the following day.

Thank you so much Kenneth I was trying to figure out a way to post that!

He is soooooo cute!


Carer I had a bad experience too when I was young. My parents and I went to visit some very old widowed ladies that were like aunts to Dad when he was growing up. They a very old pony who hadn't been exorcised in years and was as big around as he was tall. Well almost.... They set me on him to take a ride and he just stood there. They told me to kick him in the sides and yell giddy up...... So I did that and the poor old horse took off like race car around the house once then back to the same spot we started out in. He came to a dead stop and lowered his head to munch on some grass and I went sailing over top of him and landed on my head  .... that's all I remember for a while........ so I just admire their beauty and let them carry their own weight around now.

Oh dear poor you two, I've always been a it afraid of horses so I didn't get near enough to get hurt, fancy you going back again carer. I'm glad my two daughters didn't get into horse either, I do like to look at them and talk to them though.

Good video of the foal Ken, I have some small videos but mainly of my dogs.
