Tilly

Tilly is the newest addition to the Lough Ranch. She is a middle ages black pony that belongs to Briley. With the nice weather on Sunday, the girls wanted to ride. After and hour and half of changing the cinch, reins, and everything else on Bri's little pony saddle, they were off to the arena. Tilly was great! However, while I was worrying about Tilly and Bri going to fast, bucking, running away... I should have been worried about Brett and Red (the solid team.) Brett rounded the third barrel and headed for home, Red kicked up his heels, and Brett took a header right in the dirt. While Tilly, Briley and I were standing there in shock, Brett got up and walked toward us with blood dripping from her chin. We got her cleaned up and amazingly she got back on. Thankfully, she only walked away with a busted lip, scrapped chin and side, and a bruise on her arm. There is no doubt her small injuries will heal in a few days, but the memory will scar her for life.
