Is this normal for her to be acting this way?

a el

Well, for those of you who know Luna and I were in a 'little' accident on Thursday. (If you don't know anything about it, there's a post on my blog with the details. My blog link is on my Y!A profile).

I think she's mad at ME. Like I got back on and rode after it and then gave her a bath and groomed her after I cooled her off. She was kind of like distant..I guess? Then I waited 30 minutes before I fed her and she was kind of hesitant to come up to her spot.

Then the day after she didn't come up to me in the field, didn't want cookies, and was just acting kind of cold.

Today, my mom fed for me because I felt like complete junk. She said she was acting like her normal self. Then I went by on my way home from a party and I was still getting the "cold shoulder" from her.

I'm still really sweet and loving with her, but ever since the fall she's just been weird. I'm not mad at her or anything. I could have done things differently (wore my helmet :P, stayed on and possibly got thrown into trees vs. a fence, etc), but I was very forgiving of her.

Once I'm better I'm going to do some join up, but I was just wondering if her acting this way is normal post accident.

I've never had a riding accident where the horse didn't stay near me (she went to a neighbor's field and just left me) and acted weird afterwards.

We normally have an amazing bond. She knows my mom's van and my bicycle and will come running if she sees either of those. She can see my house from her field and nickers when my gate opens (that's the way I normally walk to her field). She's always very in my pocket and sweet. I just don't know what's going on :(
Oh, btw, we're pretty sure her little 'episode' was caused by getting stung. I was walking through where we were riding 2 weeks ago and got stung in the same spot. She also had a bump that looked like a sting spot..but now it's gone. So I think that's why she took off and had the fit.

The vet is going to look at her in two weeks..I swear it's her left stiffle and I'm thinking maybe EPM? I'm gunna look into having her stiffle injected. We were just at the vet though and he said it was JUST her hocks and nothing else.

That sucks...and is really weird.

Is she just being marish? Could she be in heat? I feel like there must be some kind of a physical situation going on with her...I don't think she would just randomly be a brat all of a sudden.

I know that whenever someone has fallen off Shazam he feels horrible, hangs his head low and it's obvious he is horribly sorry and wants to make sure the rider is ok (I have fallen off him only once, and saw a little girl fall off him at summer camp before I owned him).

Maybe Luna is just way different and doesn't blame herself for causing the incident, and is just associating the fall with you at this point like Maria said.

Definitely do a join-up when you can. Join-up has made me and Shazam SOOOO much closer. he follows me EVERYWHERE now. Haha.

.....or maybe she has Dissociative Identity Disorder and she is now her evil split personality, Elvira.

I want to get a moped for my 16th birthday (how & what to do)?

maiashimer

I'm thinking about asking my parents for a moped my birthday next month. Here's a little information about me:
a) I'm going to be 16
b) I have a driver's permit
c) I am about 5' tall and 100 lbs
My first issue is that I really don't know much about mopeds. The reason I prefer it to a scooter is because in my state, it is considered a bicycle if it is at least 2 horsepower and have a top speed no more than 30 mph, which means you don't need to buy insurance, have a motorcycle license or wear a helmet (though I think I would anyway). It's embarrassing to say, but I really don't know much about horsepower. I know my dad knows quite a bit more than me but if you know about mopeds and scooters (especially if you own one), and have any personal suggestions, I would love to hear them :)
Of course I would like a cheaper moped, though I definitely don't want to sacrifice too much quality for price. I don't know how long I would want to keep it, and I know a lot of people don't keep cheap mopeds and scooters once they get old. I definitely don't want anything that could fall apart too easily, though on the base & island (Kaneohe, Oahu) speeds are generally pretty low. I think the highest speed limit on base is like 35 mph.
So, would you recommend I get a new or used one, for any reason?
What might be a good type, or even specific model for me?
If you're a Hawaii resident, do you have any suggestion for me at all, including about license & shops?
I would even like to hear if you have any reasons against getting one, including safety concerns; I would still like to hear it. My dad said of course he's a little hesitant because even though he trusts me and thinks I'm responsible, there's always risk, especially because other drivers often don't watch for smaller vehicles. It might be safer here, though, than some places like L.A., where less people ride mopeds and have higher speed limits, and more lanes and more lane-changing.
Thank you so much for all answers, especially since my question was so long!!!

Answer
im 41 6 foot n i just bought 1...i love it it gets 100 miles a gallon on most mopeds in there profile it will say 30mph restricted. that means it can go faster but by law a moped can only go 30mph. this is what i did i went on the net n found the best moped for the $ not a deal but a a really nice bike w/the best value n that was ' the buddy" made by "GENUINE"the bike looks nice not wimpy n the tires are big which helps alot on dirt roads. the helmet fits right under the seat n get 100miles a gallon. so i had it for 2 weeks n paid $100.00 to get it unrestricted not only to go faster but it safer. its makes it safer bc sometimes you cant tell if a car can see you or not so ether you want 2 get out of there way or drive next to the car that there waiting for.there alot of fun but you got 2 be careful of other cars goodluck
