Hi,
I put this in CR but wanted to share the embarrasment all round with anyone that might not go into there!!!
So Im getting a new steed to ride (who was meant to be trustworthy!!)
Went to sit on him for the first time today, he is 4yo, by Dimaggio (you cant tell by the pics or anything lol) He was backed last summer, did a bit, then was turned away and brought back into work 2 weeks ago and he should be coming to live with me next weekend.
Felt a bit larey when I first got on and was a typical wobbly baby, had a nice trot around, went into canter, did a few nice strides then bucked and bucked and bucked till I fell off.
So thats pretty embarrasing by itself right???? Nope, not when you considor I fell off almost at the feet of a event rider who went to Bejing who was riding with me!!!! How terrible!!!!
Naughty baby pony!! We were both fine so I hopped straight back on, carried on and all was well. In hindsight, I should of been more productive to get his head up and kick him on!!! Those watching said I did very well but hey, thats babies!!! Im going to have everything checked as soon as he comes to me, just to make sure nothing hurts, but it did just feel like exuberant baby!
Anyway, heres the monkey......
Just got on, sorting myself out!
and at the end, butter wouldnt melt hey!!!
I wanted to see him go a bit from the ground so got the guy that backed him to have a trot round at the end (my mum couldnt work the video when I was riding him) He looks a bit tired from all his effort bucking me off!!! The video is a bit wobbly, just like the pony!!

So there you go! Hopefully writing this will make me feel better about the embarrasment, sharing might be the way forward!!!!!
So what do you think?!!?! How do you rate the embarrasment?!
