I love how kids don't give up LOL Once and awhile my kids would get our Thoroughbred too worked up, and they'd take a dive. They'd get right back on. I suspect it was mainly because they were goofing off because I rode with them 98% of the time and only once did anyone eat dirt with me. In fairness, it wasn't a good choice to put a 5 year old on a Thoroughbred, even if he was 26 years old LMBOShe was a devil that's for sure... if she saw the barn you better hold on for dear life and keep low so you don't get knocked off going in the barn.
One day I was riding her down a road and she took off full speed, ran down a road and stopped a foot short of a fence... there was a barn past the fence. Turned out that's the folks that my Grandmother bought the horse from. The only way out is to get off and grab the reins and pull her out of sight of the barn then you could ride.
