Got bucked off TWICE yesterday (riding a horse named Bart. The name should have been a clue *g*) Flipped out attempting the right lead canter. First time we didn't get to the canter he just reared and then bucked. Then I got back on, started the right lead, went for a little bit, and then whammo. I was so annoyed. I'm not riding that horse any more; I really hope they don't assign him to me again, although he's decent at the walk/trot. Tweaked my hand it's a bit swollen and bruised, but I still rode today in the Dressage Show (on my pal Scotty, what a trooper) and did... okay. But not great. My hand hurt, so I think I should get a gold star for not canceling. lol.

I also participated in the group equitation class, which just ended up being me and another junior, but it was cool (and I enjoyed it better than the test).

You tell these stories of being bucked off, and I chew my fingernails and think silently to myself, SOMEONE FOLLOW THAT WOMAN WITH SOFT MATS. It alarms me!! *g*

dude, great idea.I should hire a minnion to zip out at the right moment and put a mattress below me. Or maybe just Dash from The Incredibles. or Clark. haha.

If it makes you feel better, it's not really a great distance, and we fall on loose dirt which is pretty cushiony. And I wear a helmet.

I would love to see you riding, or better yet, competing! Imagine me in the audience next time, okay?
