Okay, so yesterday I was at my gymkhana riding lesson and I was riding a new horse (Oreo). Here is the story:
I had just gotten on Oreo and we were warming up. We walked a lap, and then trotted some. My instructors daughter was on the side wtaching us. She is maybe four or five, and she picked up a plastic bag off the ground in the arena. The girl started to shake it and I could feel Oreo tense up, as well she wouldn't go near that side of the arena. i just continued on, and tried to comfort her, but she was scared. I could tell.
When we were going by the side of the arena that the girl was on the girl accidently dropped the bag, and the wind caught it. Oreo saw it comming and completely freaked. Anyhow, I fell off and Oreo started gallping to the other side of the arena. The little girl started crying when she saw me fall off and she felt so sorry. I felt bad for her, and to be honest the fall didn't hurt all that much (she was only 14 hands high lol). I got Oreo back under control and got back on and continued the lesson, but after the lesson the girl came up to me and she was like, "I am really sorry" I felt so bad for her!
Anyways, yeah that is my story. And what suprised me even more was that even though it didn't hurt that much, I still have a bruise on my hip. Lol.
