Ouch! Very interesting lesson!

Took Jerry for a lesson, and he was in a really cocky mood, started warming up and could not get him to pay attention, came to cantering, and he refused to slow it down, and however hard I tried he kept motorbiking round the corners, had moments of calmness, but he took one too fast and slipped, fell over and got stuck against the boards, I managed to get out of the way and he didnt panic thank goodness and managed to get up ok. Trotted him up and he look fine so got back on, realising at this point that I had a mouthful of woodchips having hit the deck face first

Had a walk round and then a litle trot, and he felt ok, so tried the canter again, he was very careful and went nice and slowly, almost togetherish, so might have actually knocked a little sense into him. Carried on with the lesson, and he went brilliantly, jumped a little water tray and a mini double, and he was super, ended with a very very tired pony, and a very sore mum. My neck is stuck in quite an interesting position, but all in one piece so cant be too bad.

So all in all was a good lesson, if a little scary, think I am going to ache tomorrow though

Ouch, not nice. Flo once fell over on a fun ride with me, i luckily got out of her way (thank god, shes a blooming heavy horse), but it isn't nice at all!

he must have learn't his lesson anyway and glad you ended on a very good note.

Fortunately he missed most of me, but think will have quite a bruise tomorrow. What I really need is a nice hot bath, but run out of oil so no hot water

It must be something in the air at the moment!

Sometime they need to give their selves a bit of a scare.... Koodoo bucked today and kicked the arena fence, which scared him enough to make him keep his feet on the floor

Glad you are both ok (ish)

I think there is definatly something in the air, even the pony is acting a little strange
