点评:I would like to explain what happened on the trail ride of April 15, 2024. I am the guide that led that ride. First of all Brianna failed to mention that I first took out her mother and father on their own hour and a half trail ride. They loved it, took many photos and they told me all about Minneapolis. Upon returning to the ranch, I let the horses rehydrate, got the daughter, Brianna and her boyfriend Tanner mounted, adjusted their stirrups and off we went. They loved it as well, and just before the end of the trail, where we turn around we head down in the wash. This is where we heard the rattle of a snake. We never saw him, only heard him. Now we usually don’t see any snakes until June, so this was completely unexpected. I guess they are probably trying to soak up the warmth of the sun on all these rocks we have now from a huge storm we had about 5 months ago. It rained for three days straight, no it poured for three days straight. We had terrible flooding that has now exposed an enormous amount of rock in our wash so that is why the snakes are here early this year. Anyways, I was riding our newly rescued horse who is very young and not accustomed to our wildlife here at the high desert so he spooked. And because mine spooked, Brianna’s horse spooked as well. Well, we went sideways, we went up and we went around and around and just as I was trying to calm him down, my reins broke and I had no control of him so down I went. Brianna fell as well. And just as I hit the ground I let out a big scream and off they went. Mine got caught in barb wire and ripped his neck, Tanner was on the phone calling Georgia and anybody else that would listen. Well Georgia jumped in her truck and by the time she was heading down her driveway, the horses were running up the driveway. Now mine is a big white horse but by the time he got back to the ranch he was a bright red mess with blood pouring out of his neck. She didn’t slow down, she didn’t stop, she actually stepped on the gas she was so worried about us. She reached us in minutes , well we could see her on the other side of the wash but couldn’t get to us due to all the exposed rock. So she went to our neighbor and good friend who owns ATC and just like that there they were, getting us out of there. Now I understand that everyone beats to a different drum and everyone has their own point of view but I am fine, no broken bones, the horse is fine, he healed very quickly and we are back in the saddle again
翻译:我想解释一下 2024 年 4 月 15 日的骑行之旅。我是带领那次骑行的向导。首先,布丽安娜没有提到我首先带她的父母进行了一个半小时的骑行。他们很喜欢,拍了很多照片,还告诉我关于明尼阿波利斯的一切。回到牧场后,我让马补充水分,让女儿、布丽安娜和她的男朋友坦纳骑上马,调整马镫,然后我们就出发了。他们也很喜欢,就在小径的尽头,我们转身,走进了河沟。在这里我们听到了蛇的嘎嘎声。我们从未见过它,只听到过它的声音。现在我们通常要到六月才能看到蛇,所以这完全出乎意料。我想它们可能正试图吸收我们现在拥有的所有岩石上的阳光的温暖,这是大约 5 个月前我们经历的一场大风暴造成的。连续下了三天雨,不,连续下了三天倾盆大雨。我们遭遇了严重的洪水,现在河道里已经露出了大量岩石,这就是为什么蛇今年来得早的原因。无论如何,我骑着我们新救的马,它非常年轻,不习惯沙漠高地的野生动物,所以它受惊了。因为我的马受惊了,布丽安娜的马也受惊了。好吧,我们向侧面走去,我们向上走,我们绕了好几圈,就在我试图让它平静下来的时候,我的缰绳断了,我无法控制它,所以我摔倒了。布丽安娜也摔倒了。就在我摔倒在地的时候,我大叫一声,他们就走了。我的马被铁丝网缠住了,脖子被扯断了,坦纳正在打电话打电话给乔治亚和其他愿意听的人。好吧,乔治亚跳上她的卡车,当她沿着车道驶下时,马匹已经跑上车道了。现在我的是一匹大白马,但当它回到牧场时,它已经是一团鲜红的烂摊子,脖子上流着血。她没有放慢速度,也没有停下来,她真的踩下了油门,因为她很担心我们。几分钟后她就到了我们这里,我们可以看到她在河床的另一边,但由于岩石暴露,我们无法到达我们这里。于是她去找了我们的邻居兼好朋友,他是 ATC 的老板,就这样他们就把我们救出来了。现在我明白了,每个人都有不同的想法,每个人都有自己的观点,但我很好,没有骨折,马也很好,它很快就康复了,我们又回到了马鞍上
