A pointless tongue in cheek post so dont all jump on me for being rubbish!
Today I fell off for the second time this week, off a pony thats not mine!! Diffrent ponies I would like to add
.
First one I got jumped off JFTD's jump jet fergie, completly my fault, he has real power in his back end.
Then today I got ejected off an opinionated dartmoor. The monkey has learned that spinning in to the corner means he can deposit his small jockey and then he doesnt have to canter round in circles which he finds very hard. Well he did this once and I stayed on 1:0 to me or so I thought 
pony given a sharp reminder, back in canter and off we go again. Well the next one he then did it much more sharply and as I was off balance he added a buck to make sure he got me this time 
! Well he did so 1:1 and he aimed me at the fence. Back on the monkey and what was going to be our last canter then had to be repeated several times, pony cantered and spinning avoided 2:1 I think.....just . Then plenty of work on getting him bending round a circle as thats why he is able to do it as he isnt staight but over correct and he will get very upset about it so a bit gently as he does find it very hard so we finished on some lovely trot and went past the open school gate a few times (another of his favourite tricks) .
Plan is next session to get the leg yield going properly, it was only his first attempt today, which he picked up very quickly and get control of the shoulders that I had at the end earlier on. No I'm not expecting great results instantly hes an 8 year old pony thats been ridden by an 8 year old girl since they were both 4, so hasnt really had to work correctly but is brilliant out hacking for her and when it matters, has given her a fantastic seat and she has just learned to canter in company on him (thanks to yellow pony being her controllable company
).
Any way any spare superglue jods you have hanging round would be greatly appreciated
and some iburofen please as I havnt ridden the yellow pony yet and he was a vile child when I last sat on him.
Seriously though any useful tips for staying on a pony that your rather tall on and has a saddle thats about 14/15'' would be greatly apreciated as there isnt much infront of you when he decides to go a diffrent way to you.
