Phoenix, AZ, May 25, 2007
Hillary Clinton narrowly escaped serious injury recently when she attempted horseback riding with no prior experience.
She mounted the horse, unassisted, and the horse immediately began moving. As it galloped along at a steady and rhythmic pace, Hillary began to slip sideways from the saddle. Although attempting to grab for the horse's mane, she could not get a firm grip. She then threw her arms around the horse's neck but continued to slide down the side of the horse.
The horse galloped along, seemingly oblivious to its slipping rider. Finally, losing her grip, Hillary attempted to leap away from the horse and throw herself to safety. Her foot became entangled in the stirrup, and she was at the mercy of the horse's pounding hooves as her head and upper body repeatedly struck the ground.
Moments away from unconsciousness and being trampled or beaten to death, to her great fortune a man shopping at Wal-Mart saw her and quickly unplugged the horse.
