Ouch!!!
I fell off my friends rather large ID this evening in the most ridiculous way!
She was lunging him, and asked if I wanted to have a go on him bareback. I said ok, as he's just like a big armchair, really comfy to ride and has a lovely canter which is quite easy to sit to.
As he is moulting, we decided to use a saddle cloth and lunging roller so I wouldn't get so hairy!
I had a lovely trot and then started cantering. Just as I was feeling pleased that my balance was improving, I suddenly felt myself falling to the side slightly, then a bit more, then alot, along with the roller and saddle cloth...before I knew it I was on the ground!!
The roller was obviously not as tight as we thought!!!
Had that not been embarrasing enough, it would seem the whole yard was up there at the time, when it's usually very quiet at that time of night! Sods law!!
On the bright side though, it gave us all a good laugh, although I'm feeling the effects of the impact now though!! Cushion at work tomorrow me thinks!!!
