Games Day

A Cochranville friend reports that she and her mule participated in some mounted games recently with the Charlie Horse Riding Club, a local branch of the nationwide Old People's Riding Club ("old" being defined as anyone above pony club age). One contest involved taking your feet out of the stirrups and doing a full 360-degree turn on the saddle as quickly as possible. She said she would have easily beaten all of her much-younger competitors -- except for the fact that she accidentally kicked her steed in the process.
