OUR EXTREME DREAM

     This made me laugh out loud, so I had to share it with y'all:

     We covered both horses with a ton of fly spray and 40 percent deet as I noticed a few yellow flies at the parking lot but they are expected at this time of year. This is yellow fly mating season till mid June.

     We rode in aways and we had the expected number of flies. As we got close to the water the yellow flies picked up so Mustang cut us a branch for swattin which only helped slightly. All of a sudden we were swarmed like one of those bee swarms that you see on TV in those extreme animal attack programs. Both horses were freaking out and if we did not have those riding masks on we probably would have gotten thrown. There are no maps for Cedar Point which is real close to Pumpkin Hill so we had no idea where we were or how to get back to the trailer. I over heard one of the flies say something to his buddy about there not being any witnesses to see us drug off into the woods and eaten alive. It was at that point that we hauled butt to try to out run them. Cedar Point has tree roots every where so cantering or running for your life is pretty much out of the question. Let's just say we were doing Endurance training and testing our balance as we were still swatting with the tree branch while extended trotting out of there. Mustang just let Linc decide how to get back. Heck we were just hanging on for dear life and swinging that tree branch trying not to get eaten.

     The yellow flies must have been eating their Weaties as they were keeping up with us. I'm not sure how long or far that we did our extended trot but I got blisters on the inside of my leg from my new saddle. We made it back to the fence line where ya ride into Cedar Point. We had lost most of the flies some wheres along the way so we were able to walk back to the trailer from there. I'm glad as Linc and Ranger where tired. So much for a nice relaxing early Saturday morning short ride. Heck I would call that a workout. GEEZ??.
