Funny horse fallsl

[catwalk]

I had set up a single jump in the middle of the arena, parallel to the long sides. Shaq and I had to make a sharp turn coming and going, so I was practicing circles and "8's". My mind wandered, and although I indended to make a left turn after the jump, I had failed to communicate my plans. He landed on the right lead, and I panicked. I didn't think Shaq could switch leads and lurn left in the amount of space we had, so I switched my weight. Because he's the best horse ever, though, Shaq realized what I had wanted, switched leads, and made the left turn. My miscalculation landed me in the wall. Shaq was in no danger of stepping on his reins, so I sat where I landed, waiting for someone to come out and help me up. When nobody came, I crawled over to my horse and used him as a crutch back to the barn. I asked the other riders what was taking them so long, and they told me that they were going to use the other arena, because they didn't want to bother me and get in my way... They had a laugh, and they gave me the picture they took of me covered in arena dirt!

I was 9 years old, riding a very large QH named Blaze, through the woods bareback. Came upon a very large garden spider web stretched between two trees With that very large garden spider right at my face level. The closer I got, the bigger it got . Looked the size of a dinner plate right before it attached to my face. I fell off Blaze backward. Scared of spiders every since.

Turney, not only would I have fallen off, I would have messed myself, ran headspace into a tree and killed myself tryin to get it off!

That was, almost, precisely my reaction.

I am also glad to see you back.

I went to this horse show a week and this little girl was riding quite a spunky pony. She took 2 falls by the end of her class. But she got right back on and kept going! I wish I had that kind of bravery! Here is the video....
