Latest Country Surprise! Texting on Horseback?

Late Sunday afternoon, we arranged an impromptu neighborly get together for dinner to wind up our Easter Sunday.  In preparation, I drove the 10 miles to the nearest convenience store in order to purchase some beer and wine to enjoy with our meal.  

It was a beautiful day although windy.  Along the way, I came upon a young woman riding her horse in the ditch next to the road.  It was a majestic looking horse.  She was obviously comfortable with the animal and appeared to be enjoying a leisurely ride.  I was appreciating these thoughts and thinking that I could not have seen this anywhere else that I have lived in this country. 

As they came closer and I was about to pass them, all of my peaceful thoughts vanished!  She was not enjoying the view or talking to her horse.  She was busily texting away on her cell phone! 

Texting on horseback?  I never expected that.
