Comical fall in front of new instructor!!!

[eatonbraynat]

So i went to this very good equestrian centre near me for a lesson today for the first time with a new instructor. I compete there in dressage regularly so i know the place but not really anyone at the yard. Anyway lesson starts great, new instructor is fab, getting on really well my horse is responding lovely. We had had a few canters and everything is going fine until............. I lost my stirrrup and panicked, my boy panicked and went faster i pulled him round in a circle to slow him down and promptly fell straight off the side right at the feet of new instructor!!!!!! This is a horse that i jump, xc, take galloping and its sods law that i fall off in canter, in front of my new instructor!!!!! Doh!!!!!

It was the funniest thing, i couldnt stop laughing!!!!

How embarassing!! Hope you and horse are OK though!!

 

[eatonbraynat]

We are fine, luckily it was in an arena so there was some padding!!!

Ooops. A memorable lesson for you! At least you are ok. Are you going back for another lesson?

 

[eatonbraynat]

Yes, that instructor was fab!!! Hopefully will be able to redeem myself next time round.
