PGL II: Cheating Death
Another story from PGL.

One day we went for pony rides. T'was alright, the girls were acting out all their pony riding/owning fantasies, and the boys attempting to get our ponies to go as fast as possible (boy racers in the making)

My pony was soooooooo slow. All it did was wait around until the pony in front started shitting, then clopped off for some reason.

To make it go faster, I kept poking its side with my feet, as you do. It didnt respond to this, until the pony behind started expelling its exhaust. One light tap from me and

FROOM!

Off it galloped. With me on it.

It was going so fast I could hardly see where I was going. It bolted into the forest and I started getting thwacked by tree branches. After being hit repeatedly at high speed, one thick branch knocked me off the horse.
Except that my right foot was caught in the stirrup. I was dragged along by this horse at full speed, over rocky ground with little more protection than a thin helmet.

After the horse calmed down and we got back to the stables, everyone looked at me like I was a ghost.
Apparently I was lucky to be alive, never mind not paralysed, without broken bones or even a bruise.

So, I cheated death! No Final Dedstination-esque happenings yet though.

Length? Hung like the pony.
