It was a rodeo
Silly me.  This evening when I was cleaning the barn,I put out our grey mare, Peaches, in the round pen.  I then decided to put Maggie out with her, cause none of the horses have been out of the barn for about a week.  It's been buggy, hot and humid during the day and raining in the evenings. What a BIG MISTAKE!!! I forgot that Peaches is the dominate mare.  I thought it was odd that Maggie wouldn't lead into the pen.  THEN I REALIZED WHY!!!  Peaches decided to charge us.  Oh!  They got into a kicking match and I was between them.  Well, I felt the wind rush by my head and realized that I was way close to being kicked.  So Maggie and I high tailed it out the gate.  Maggie then decided that it was time to go after Peaches (she is so brave outside the pen) but since I was holding on to her, she decided to rear up. Bad thing to happen! Maggie was snorting and Peaches was tossing her head and snorting back.  So, I decided to put Maggie back into the barn.  She was not a happy horse and all we did was spin in circles. Finally, back in the barn.  I wasn't scared, just mad at my stupidity. Because they get a long I didn't think that it mattered WHO went out first.  So I had 2 unhappy horses and upset the natural balance of their universe by forgetting that the grey mare is the Queen of Everything.
