Welcome to my night mare! (Pun intended)
I have written a whole pile of stories about horses, (some actually worth the read!) I am also including some useful articles about horses and safety. I believe that horses should be willing partners with their riders, but always SAFETY FIRST.
So, if you're ready:
Pull up a stump, grab a cup of coffee and lets go! (Have fun!)

Exhilaration
breath coming in short gasps...
the train coming, I see it,
He hears it and feels the vibration in the ground....
Wheel about to face it, soon..it will be here.
Adrenalin rushing, guts mushy,
painful side cramp.
The train relentlessly approaches.
Starting to sweat,
I feel the palms of my hands slippery wet.
Deep breath...wheel 180 degrees..
start moving, slowly, at first,
then running, full out.
The sweat cools in the breeze created by his speed,
Running full out beside the train...
my hand slippery inside my gloves.
My heart beats in synch with his,
pounding like a drum..
I'm certain he can feel it...
I can feel his.
Steam brakes on the train
give off an evil hiss...He jumps to the side...
Where we once were only a couple of feet from the side of the train,
now we race along 8 feet from the train,
Exhilaration, nearly orgasmic, flows through my veins.
My partner and I've done another successful hold up on the train.
