Okay, so, here at college there is a riding class. I took the beginner's last year, total waste of time. The person who was supposed to teach the class ran around flirting with cowboys all the time. And I knew more than the other students, so I basically had to teach them.
This semster, I'm like, one of the only students, and there is a different instructor. She is amazeing! But anyway, I like to ride a big bay horse. There is actually a picture of him on here... i think still. Of us and I'm in an English saddle with horrible posture. Anyway, today, I rode him in the arena. It wasn't muddy, but it wasn't totally dry either.
The instructor said I could lope, set up barrels, do whatever. Well, I just wanted to trot and lope to work on my seat, so i could work with Bo better. My riding time was almost up, when we were trotting back to the gate. The bay kept fighting for his head, and I guess he slipped from that but next thing I know, we went down. The poor thing fell on his front legs and his head hit the dirt, but he didn't flip over. He then slowly got to his feet. I feel SO bad
I didn't think he would slip after we loped down there and back. 
Luckily, he wasn't hurt. But, I got off and checked his legs and his poor face. I brushed him extra good and gave him a treat. But, I still feel bad. It was my fault he fell. Even though the instructor said we could lope, I shouldn't have.
