new saddle

My girlfriend got a new saddle. I was so jealous of her when we went riding and she was so proud that new saddle.  We got to the pond and waded our horses out into the pond until they were about knee deep. She did not want to go any deeper because of her new saddle. I was disappointed as we usually swam our horses around and had a gay time in the pond as we rode bareback.  I was thinking maybe it isn't so cool to have a new saddle if you can't do fun things any more because of it.

Her horse started pawing the water, well being young we did not know what was going to happen and I was thinking, see even the horse isn't happy, he wants to play too.

Well you horse people know what happened next, the pretty little palamino laid right down in the water with that girl and her new saddle and splashed around.  He finally got up and the horse, the rider and that pretty new saddle were wet and muddy and I was having a hard time not laughing as she sputtered and yelled.

Not sure if it was a lesson that you should not get prideful or I was just a bad girl and wished it on her but when she calmed down we both had a good laugh about it but it was the last time she took her pretty saddle when we went trail riding, she saved it for trips to town etc.
