The Puddle Problem

You’re riding peacefully…
until your horse spots it.

Not a snake.
Not a jump.
Not even a suspicious leaf.


What you see:

A small, harmless wet spot.

What your horse sees:

A bottomless lake filled with crocodiles, emotional danger, and regret.

The PhilosopherStares at puddle for 6 minutes, thinking about life.
The Drama ArtistJumps it like it’s the Olympics. Screams internally.
The NegotiatorSteps forward, then back, then files a complaint.
The Happy ChaosWalks straight in. Makes splashy soup.

Rider: “It’s just water.”
Horse: “Then YOU walk in it.”


Sometimes horses don’t avoid puddles because they’re scared—
Sometimes they just refuse to get their socks wet.
