A not so good morning

For my birthday, Templeton wanted to take me to some stables near Williamsburg, VA and go on a trail on some horses. We both had never been and I was really excited. Sadly the snowstorm hit and they had to cancel or lesson. (Sadly, our Christmas plans, my birthday plans, and New Year's Eve plans all got canceled this year =o/)Templeton rescheduled for today.  We drove out past Williamsburg to Toano for our 11:30am lesson/trail ride. It was pouring rain. The receptionist also did not book our reschedule, but they were going to accomodate us anyway. We had to wait for the rain to stop before we could ride, so we walked around the stables and watched the rain from where Templeton is standing in the picture.

Two horses were in that pen across the puddle and started getting a little hyper. Chasing each other around in circles. All of a sudden, 1 big horse runs toward that gate and jumps over it. I am in shock, not knowing what to do. He came CHARGING towards us! Temp and were right next to a wall and stood still up against it while he came running at us. Do you stay still or run??? Both of our instincts were to stay still---not to frighten him anymore than he was. The horse came right near us than swerved off down the stable corridor. I ran to our car, and Temp followed. We stayed in the car until we calmed down, then Temp went and told them we were going to have to reschedule---again. They were very apologetic and offered a big discount. Luckily no one was hurt.
So we are bummed on our way home, and the car is acting sketchy. Making weird noises. I beg Templeton to pull over, and we have a busted tire. Temp gets out the spare from his trunk, and it was flat. We went to 7-11 on the busted tire to fill the flat with air, drove around for awhile looking for an open tire place to no avail, then just decided to go home. Temp will get new tires tomorrow. Here is a picture in the tunnel I took.
We are rescheduling horseback riding for the spring, this weather in the winter is too unpredictable.
