meredifay today@OmegaMom Yes, obviously written by someone who has not spent hours on a horse.
@meredifay If it were a character who had done it before, not too long ago…
But as a once in a great while (like every five years or so) rider who has taken two-hour trail rides, I can attest to the jelly leg effect.
@OmegaMom I grew up on a ranch, where riding from 4 am to 6 pm was sometimes necessary. The jelly leg effect can happen again and again! You know in the old Western movies when the guy would come into the saloon, throw a coin on the bar and rasp”Whiskey” ? After trailing a bunch off cows down a mountain, sometimes it is the only thing that helps! :-)
