Oops!

I went to ride VictoriaEDT's two boys - Charlie and Romeo
smile.gif
it's only about 15 minutes from work, but I got lost on the way so was more like 25 minutes
crazy.gif
agh I don't know Somerset!
grin.gif


First of all I rode Charlie - a cheeky coloured cob who rides like a 5 year old even though he is in his teens
smile.gif
I just walked about the field, seeing as they hadn't been ridden for a few weeks and neither have I
grin.gif


Then I got on Romeo, all 17.2hh of him
shocked.gif
I walked him around for a bit as well, not as forward going as Charlie and much more longer than Frankie was, so that should take a bit of getting used to!

Anyway I don't know if I nagged him too much, or I was unbalanced, or he was just in high spirits as hadn't been ridden for a few weeks either but he started rearing and humping

Then he went up slightly and I slid off onto his bum and bounced off it

I tell you - It was the slowest fall I have ever had, I must have been in the air for about 30 seconds
grin.gif
Ok that is a slight exaggeration
smile.gif


I got back on, after poor Victoria had to leg me up - she is broken and I am not aigle
shocked.gif
wink.gif
Then i just walked him about for about 5/10 minutes.

Then I had dinner and cake!
grin.gif


I can't believe I fell off - the first time I have ridden in a long time and I hit the deck
crazy.gif


I'm going back tomorrow though, hope V doesn't mind

Oooh I was wondering how you got on! I wasn't expecting to read that! Lol! It's a long way down from 17.2 as well, isn't it? At least you didn't hurt yourself from the sounds of it - plenty of time on the way down to plan the landing
wink.gif


Are you going back for more???
wink.gif
grin.gif
 
yeah it was a long way down.......and when he went up I swear I could see the sea!

I'm riding him again tonight.......hopefully there will be no stories to tell
