humour in the unexpected. After all, the bond between rider and horse was built not just on discipline and practice, but also on moments of laughter and joy.
By the time Laura and Thunder finished their session, Ben had composed himself enough to offer a parting joke. “Just remember, Laura, if you ever lose a stirrup again, check Thunder’s tail first. He might just have a new trick up his sleeve.”
Laura grinned. “I’ll keep that in mind, Ben. Thanks for the reminder.”
As she led Thunder back to the stables, Laura couldn’t help but feel grateful for the quirky, unpredictable world of eventing. It was a world where even a missing stirrup could turn into a morning of laughter and bonding. And that, she thought, was what made it all worthwhile.
