Falling off...oh well ya gotta know how to, right?

I skipped a few days of riding Storm bareback because I've worked everyday since schools been out. Today though Mary, Rita and I decided to ride for Mary's bday. Ha we had such success at fun!

We started off galloping through the wheatfield[after warming up of course] A few miniutes into the ride Stormy shied at something and since I was just rolling with her and not expecting it I went sprawling and hit the ground rolling. [The first time I've fallen off in almost a year and I don't even land on my feet, how depressing] Storm took off and then stopped a couple feet away and Mary went to go get her while I sat and laughed hysterically. I was of course hidden completely by wheat and Rita was cantering back to find me and I yelled at her to not run me over when bam Wily sees me sitting where she least expected and she shies and Rita, of course, hits me rolling. Mary sat an d laughed like crazy, I was like just you wait Rita and I are covered now, but you, you're in trouble!

So we countinued and when we got up behind the old dump Rita decided we ougta get closer, and oops Storm caught her leg in a sagebrush. We would been just fine if we were pointed up hill but since we were climbing off a bluff she tripped on her nose and I went somersaulting[again] and landed on my feet and flipped again and smashed my palm, so now it is brusied and ug-a-lay! Stormy, when she saw me on my butt leaned down and nudge me like she was sorry, so of course I couldn't be mad!

Anyway fast forward we're headed back up the canyon to the house and galloping along jumping sagebrush and logs or whatever is in our paths and Mary is leading. Well she decided she wanted to go one way and Ted decided they were going another. Well Mary got her way all right, Teddy popped his way over a high sage and Mary went flying the way she wanted to go. But, being Mary, she couldn't just fall she had to get her hand stuck in his mane and run along side him a few feet. Talk about laugh! Rita and I laughed until we were crying, it was crazy funny. Mary took it well though, with just a "well now we're all covered for awhile."

So yep the points are now in my favor, I've been expecting a fall for awhile=]
