Scary ride (thankful day 2)

 Grandma has horses their names are Hondo and Dixie. Hondo is a bay and he responds really well but can't go anywhere without Dixie. Dixie is a beautiful paint she LOVES to eat so much that grandma has to close off some of the fields so she doesn't overeat because when she does her hoofs become soft and she could become lame😥 she also only really moves if Hondo is moving. Ok now you have the backround info. So Grandma and I were out on a trail ride in the woods, she was on Dixie and I was on Hondo. We were on shepherds lane and we were almost out into the field when I realized we didn't have our orange vests on. (you have to wear them during hunting season especially in the woods so other people don't accidentally shoot you) Right after I told grandma we heard a LOUD gun shot. Like OH MAN. Dixie spooked. She is really skittish and spooks really easily. (spooking means the horse is afraid and reacts jerkily like bolting, bucking, or standing still and losing footing ect...) So we were out on the field going back to the house. The field is a bad place for the horses because they can see the barn and want to bolt back to it. Hondo was doing well but Dixie kept standing still  every time there was a gun shot, and there were ALOT. and it was ONLY on the way back. like 🙄 why dude, couldn't you have waited 20 min. for us to go back to the house. Oh well! The whole time we were walking back to the barn I kept looking back checking on grandma to see if she was ok, I was scared that Dixie would spook and bolt/buck grandma off. But thankfully we all got back safely and we were alright
