No disrespect mean't...Jules. It is soo great that it was a "good fall" for your mom! Good falls hurt..but are not ones that have permanent damage. Bad falls makes us HAVE to stop life as usual..for long periods of time.<br />But good falls. dent our confidence up some. They also can put another check point on the lists of riding behaviors we assume when relaxed..like you said..sometimes we can get to the point where too relaxed is potentially harmful!<br /><br />Counting to 10...outloud, it would be calming in a way..it is what I do with Wa mare for a rhythem and controlled speed.<br /><br /> Woo...Still so glad that she got up and walked away. Bless her heart! And Yours!<br />XO<br />KKallhorsestuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05301081722884351021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632474743706899336.post-55916732348032423092010-08-02T12:57:24.347-04:002010-08-02T12:57:24.347-04:00oh no...your poor Mom!

You are brave for handling that..I'm sure it was very scary.

I know all about being too relaxed sometimes. Because a ride really isn't over until it is OVER. And to hear you mum moaning in the grass!??? I don't know what I would have done!! This post sure had my eyes open wide! I was reading it with my husband nearby and I kept sucking in my breath with each sentence and he kept saying IS EVERYTHING OK????? But I have to say: 66 and still in the saddle?

I flipped backwards over a 2 ft. high concrete bench and hit head to buttocks - flat, splat. John compared it to "clipping" in football. John felt all my "joint places" before agreeing to lift me up -- he was so certain something surely broke. But unlike your mom, in my case there IS plenty of padding. Oh but do I hurt today. Sore from neck to rump. Tell mom we're too old for this. :-) Cousin GlendaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632474743706899336.post-81184627932764627982010-08-01T12:36:55.366-04:002010-08-01T12:36:55.366-04:00Carol - Thanks for coming over and visiting.

Sorry that the first post you saw was scary - we usually have perfectly safe rides! <br /><br />equestrian_librarian - Sounds like a good plan of building up your confidences (yours and hers) with your sweet Morgan lease. I like heading out to the trails a little distance at a time. Unfortunately, I quickly become too relaxed out there and let down my guard. Mom does too!<br /><br />Sydney - it is so funny you say about your fall because the first thing I thought of when I was walking the two boys back was "at least this fall wasn't like Sydney's on the road/farm track!"<br /><br />Kate - My mom has been telling me about the ground harder with age thing for a while now.

Ironically I hadn't fallen off in years until I was riding my quiet Morgan lease mare down a dirt rode last summer and a dragonfly went right toward her eye and BOOM the next thing I knew I was hanging off the side of the saddle and about to land on the ground. She was calm as can be moments before. I have her back this summer (one week ago) and will start the property riding/trail work slowly to build up both of our confidences!equestrian_librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06851451373707652633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632474743706899336.post-70930295460260505692010-08-01T10:06:54.795-04:002010-08-01T10:06:54.795-04:00Oh my heavens, I came to your site to thank you fo...Oh my heavens, I came to your site to thank you for following and to tell you how much I enjoy your vintage look horse posters, and found this scarey story.
