Star Treks; definition
To Boldly Go Where No Horse Has Gone Before…
I’m tellin’ ya…I am wiped out from being a Star Treks groupie.
That horse! We have logged some miles this week.
Once Star and I trekked down together this morning, we had a good, short session. He loaded immediately in the trailer, and then over and over again…so long as there was a grain bucket waiting in the bowels of that cave from hell.
Attitudes flared when there was no food in sight. I decided to end on a good note and return for a different sort of afternoon session, with Recluse Man’s help.
After trekking up first thing this morning to get Star, he and I Star Trekked back down and through the creek, as we passed all kinds of ghosts in the wind and monsters in the creek. After our first session, I decided to leave Star in the lower paddock until session number two. No more Star Trekking! I chained the fence, figuring I’d return in a couple of hours.
I did.
And dang if that horse hadn’t Star Trekked right over the fence and on to higher grounds.
Just as I pulled up, I caught sight of him leading the troops around the very last and highest bend in sight. When I shouted out, he looked my way with his ears pricked, then did a quick 180º (my heart skipped a beat), then did any even faster 180º (my heart thudded), and continued to lead his troops…up.
No doubt with a smirk on his green lips.
Feckin’ trekkin’!!!
Then Recluse Man texted to say he’d be home after dark.
I was bummed. I had really hoped to move Star tomorrow, but I think we need at least one more session before he’ll quietly and fully load.
For Photos of the Day…a look at what Star Treks are all about…
I was thinking…hmmm…not high enough to drive…I’ll just do the Star Trek…
He made me trek alright…
It started out as a quiet descent…we were singing…’Trekking…like the doo-da man…’
Peace and Love…from a Star Trekking groupie…
…then…Star Trekker snorted…”YIKES!!!…MUST STOP! ..there’s a ghost-dog way up top…”
…then later I snorted…”No dude…the Star Trek does not end here…”
We were finally trekking nice and easy through the creek…
But on the way out?
“SHARKS IN THE WATER!”
Star Trekker… “I saw a SHARK…I know I DID!!!”
Me…”That was a minnow silly boy…”
Check out the Star Trekker stride!!
After our session…we parted in peace.
(notice the fence separating Star from his friends and a beckoning trek)
They were so far away when I returned, even when I threatened by screaming…
“SET PHASERS TO STUN”
…it seemed Highly Illogical.
