Recall that Carol cannot steer her horse. Recall also that she did not hunt on Saturday and apparently has not hunted since that slow day at the kennels when she annoyed us.

So she fails to steer her horse and it decides to go through two trees between which it really cannot fit. Carol is unable to avoid her predicament because, as mentioned, she cannot steer. Her fat horse scrapes her off between the two trees (on purpose perhaps?) and she ends up, in a most unsightly manner, essentially sitting on its kidneys. The horse then panics mildly there between the two trees and drops down and then gets back up again and so Carol bounced around on its kidneys for a stride. At which point the horse says hell no and flings her up in the sky like a rag doll getting shot out of a cannon.

Carol flies through the air totally limp, not a self-preservation instinct anywhere in sight, goes way up as if bounced off a trampoline and then plummets to the ground in a heap.

She did not move a single limb or anything for a good three minutes. When we got to her she was totally still and moaning softly.

Then a ridiculous number of people had to stay and help her (I'm not sure why) which left just me, Jonathan, Cheralynn and Don to hunt on. And then Cherlynn had to quit because Barney was too slow so it was just me, Don and Jonathan.

Eventually the others rejoined.

Robbie told us later that she was totally loopy the whole way back to safety. Like kept asking what happened etc.

We hadn't even been out half an hour when it happened.
