horseback riding (english) 1:00:00 [2]
Lesson on William. We were doing a gymnastic grid (jump, 2 strides, jump, 1 stride, jump, bounce, jump) and the first time through I couldn't get enough pace out of him. He stalled at the bounce, I jumped the jump without him, basically spearing my armpit on the thing as I hit the ground on the other side. It was a red gate jump, looks kind of like a low, wide garden gate with all these vertical slats... thankfully I didn't land on top of it with my whole body. William, the traitor, walked back over to the side and got back in line behind the rest of the horses as if he was done... don't THINK so! Soooooo that is twice in one week for falls, hopefully they are out of the system now for awhile. I think the back of my arm is going to be purple tomorrow...
(We did then do it successfully several times)
