I was travelling in circles - trying to get Zwarte to go the way I wanted him to. We had done this for some time when he spooked at something, the saddle slipped, and I slammed into the ground. Shoulder, hip and head.
I am sore.
Lesson learned: Must take a firmer grip on the reins - tell Z every step of the way what I want him to do. Oh, and tighten up the girth.

I'd like to try an aussie saddle with poleys to see if I can keep my seat better.
Dang! Not fun!! I feel your pain. Your fresian is awesome!!
ReplyDeleteYikes. That ground gets harder as I get older... & I have been subsumed by guilt since I swapped saddles - my sweet lil' boy is no longer tossing his head, trying to tell me: "Mom! You're killing my back here!"
