Things That Happened On Poplar Place Farm Trip 2 Summers Ago

The Gang at Big Bear in 2010

On day 1, my trainer makes illegal U-turn and gets pulled over. On day 2, my friend's horse Champ rears and my friend falls off, gets stung by bee and gets poison ivy. She has a bad allergic reaction. It storms really badly and our AC unit got struck by lightning. That night we go ride again. When we got back to the cabin it was 100 degrees inside because the AC unit was fried. On day 3, we all wake up and realize 4 girls and our trainer aren't there. A creepy redneck mountain man comes to fix the air conditioning and we are home alone with him and no other adults in our pajamas. We soon find out my friend's horse Stackers got sick and has to go to Auburn University to possibly have surgery. My friend drives us to the barn and we graze our horses to make sure they don't get sick. While we are all grazing our horses, a horse called CP steps in a bee nest and everybody gets attacked by bees, 2 of my friends named Sarah and Larisa get stung and 3 horses named Kody, Cowboy and CP get stung and CP has an allergic reaction. We call the vet and she gives him medicine. On Day 4, a horse called Gizmo pulls a shoe which means he can't be ridden, the guy who drives our trailer, Mr. Mike, loses a tire on the highway and can't get to the barn our horses were at until midnight.2 of his friends though, come and take most of the horses back to our barn in Alpharetta, but my trainer's horses had to stay until midnight. It was a very eventful trip and we will probably never go back there again. Oh and while Stackers was at Auburn, the vet asked where we were staying. My trainer said Poplar Place in Pine Mountain. The vet said oh yes I heard it's very beautiful but it is built on Indian burial grounds so I think it's a little creepy. My trainer thinks that is why we had such bad luck.
