Never EVER thought I'd be saying this

[Tangle]

The horse I was riding bucked in my lesson last night - and I smiled all the way home :D:D:D

6 to 12 months I'd have screamed, turned into a bowl of jelly and gone home in tears :(.

Takes something, err, drastic :p to make you realise how much you've changed :D

That's what you call progress.

Well done.

Well done =) I'm strange i actually like it when the horse i'm riding bucks lol (aslong as i dont end up on the floor =D )
You didnt fall off did you ?

Whoowhoo! All right, Tangle! What a wonderful experience.

I can totally relate to that - Rupert bucked with me last weekend and I sat it without a problem and was not terrifed - a year ago that would have turned me into a quivering wreck.

Congratulations!

No, thankfully :D

I was more suprised than shocked. The horse I was riding is a working livery, doesn't do that many hours in the school (fllat - probably 7 hrs/week, max) and his owner is into jumping. I asked him to trot. He didn't want to. I asked him again and he still didn't, so the next time he refused he got a light flick with the whip - and he bucked.... but boy did he trot afterwards :D

To be fair, it was an "easy" buck to sit - even though (I'm told ;)) it was quite big it was perfectly straight. Am glad I wasn't doing sitting trot no stirrups though :p

Well done! I think I would still be scared...my mare has only done a series of crow hops...no real bucks, thank goodness.

Way to go!
