1. Have an akksident. The kind where you could hurt yourself not the kind where you are a bit late for the toilet.
2. Pick yourself up after the akksident, brush yourself off and get back on the horse that you just fell off when it tripped up when it was cantering.
3. Do some more cantering, and finish the lesson properly.
4. Fill in your details on a form and wait for a phone call the following day to check that you are OK.
Yes, it finally happened. Mum fell off today, just as she was getting into a lovely canter. Dougal does tend to be a bit stumbly and did it quite a few times before the big one in the canter. She thought that she might have held it .... but didn't and ended up on the floor of the arena looking somewhat like a dead fly.
Still, it did mean that her new chaps and gloves were christened quite nicely ...
We think that she might have a bruise tomorrow!

Oh what??!! Obviously not too serious but please be careful! Suppose now it's done then it won't be a shock if it happens again? All the best riders fall off...... true! x x x
ReplyDeleteSo we have heard ... we understand that this also applies to falling off motorbikes. Mum is fine this morning; just a little bit stiff but ready to ride again next week with Dad watching this time hopefully.
