Had a chance to take my share horse out for a hack today,so I jumped at the chance....owner was taking her other horse to a show,so wasnt going to be around.
Nice,hot gorgeous day,thought we'd have the perfect hack out..
Wasnt I wrong!
Bout 20 mins into our hack,the skies started to go a boggy grey colour,wind started blurring in the trees,spits of rain started to come down.....then BOOM BOOM....flickers of lightening started...I was a fair bit away from the stables..I was just sat there thinking oh my god.
The thunder was getting louder and louder,huge cracks of thunder each time,I turned around and started heading back to the stables.....
This was my first hack out in 7 weeks due to the last time she bolted with me on the back....
She spooked a couple of times whilst we were out,flags flapping etc
But when she heard the thunder,she stamped all four feet and I thought....Oh no not again,she's gonna bolt....I was scared..
Thought nothing else could go wrong then it happened,the heavens opened and down came the rain....all I had on was a polo shirt
Absolutely drenched.....drivers were coming past us on the road laughing at us lol..........most of thought it was hilarious...
Anyone else get caught up in a thunderstorm??
