Almost immediately, the horse springsinto action. It begins galloping along at a steady and rhythmic pace; but she begins to slip from the saddle. She grabs for the horse'smane – but can't seem to get a firm grip on it. So she tries to throw her arms around her steed 's neck. But she finds herself sliding down the side of the horse anyway. By now she's terrified. And her mount keeps galloping along, seemingly oblivious to her and the ongoing drama.
Finally, she decides she'd better try to throw herself to safety. Giving up her frail grip, she leaps away from the horse, hoping to get clear of its hooves. Unfortunately, though, her foot has become tangled in the stirrup, and now she's at the mercy of her erstwhile mount. Her poor head is struck against the ground again and again, her hair ribbon is torn away, and she's feeling battered all over. Just before she lapses into unconsciousness, though, help arrives! It comes in the form of the store manager, who runs over and shuts off the horse in the nick of time!
