.... and fell off.

After putting my horse out for loan 10 years ago and having a few lessons now and then, I decided to start up again.

I really like the stables I have chosen to ride at and am riding a lovely coloured cob type, but last week trotting with no stirrups and then the wind picking up and spooking my horse I fell off - like a sack of spuds!!. I got straight back on again (with no stirrups too, my instructor wouldn't let me have them back).

This week was fine, I am really enjoying riding him, he's very easy to ride, forward going and responsive so I think he's doing more work than me, but he's a good confidence giver.

My son took some pics so I will find out where to post them.

Yes well done for getting back on, my lesson was without stirrups too whilst trotting, didnt fall off luckily, but did today sort of whilst dismounting, swinged my leg a bit too fast :o thought it was very funny though and had a good laugh at myself :D
