A Pause Before The Ride

We caught the horses after I put on
her pants and cowboy boots,
though the catching was more them
than me.
She, my cousin was wearing shorts and ran
into some bushes or weeds, we're not
completely sure. It happened fast.
And she looked like she was attacked
by a creature in a horror film. Her thighs
were scraped and bleeding
and she didn't even notice.
Lizzy caught them both, with
the help of Jenna, another cousin. She
harnessed the horses and saddled
behind me, telling me when to slow down.
It was interesting to note the difference
between English and Western styles
of riding. I am out of practice with both.
