I took a hard fall today. I was riding Queenie in the Arena and she got spooked when we were Galloping past my back yard and Nemo was barking. I tried to hold on and ballance but Gravity had me in it's claws! I tell you what, that is the first time since I was a kid that I have hurt myself like that. I had to lay there about five minutes untill the pain left and then I moved very slowly because I tought maybe my hip was broke and was afraid the damn pain would come back. Thank god I didn't break anything. Tried yelling for umm Gizzy.:) He didn't hear and I was glad since I don't like him knowing about me falling. Anyway after that I got back up and made sure everything was in place then got back on that mounting block and rode Queenie till she was all SWEAT!! I was a little harder on her then I probably should have been (she is just a baby) . So now I feel bad because I let a little of my madness take over me. She forgave me and I'll just have to stop and think before I go to correct her. Try not to be so hard with her. It's just when I get pain I get a little ticked off. I think I'll go wach some more horse training video's so I can be better. Oh, I got my horse trailer today! Now I can travel with my horses!
