Weekend Report

[xxkatejayxx]

Found out on Friday that it hurts been bucked off a 17hh I rode Sovereign for his vetting and he thought it was ever so exciting to canter in the field so he went into rodeo pony mode and I came off quite hard - landed mainly on my bum but didn't let go of reins quick enough :kopfpatsch: so spun round and smacked my head on the ground, luckily though it was fairly soft. I hurt my head, my bum, my ribs and my shoulder :bawling:

Saturday I rode Fearn in the school for 20 mins just working on bending and walk - halt transitions with minimum contact as she had already been ridden for 45 minutes.

Then yesterday we had some jumps arrive ( :thumbs: Queen B) so set up a jumping lane and loose jumped Fearn over them - think she really enjoyed it, then later on in the day me and Carol hacked out on Solo and Fearn (only a quick 15 minute walk around the block).

Heres some piccies and a video (if it works!):

Fearn in the field 15.02.08

Sanyo in the field 15.02.08

Sovereign 15.02.08 This shows his size properly as I can just about see over the top of his door and I'm 5'3/4!)

A rare site!

and if it works, here is the video:

Ouch Ouch Ouch!!! You must be made of strong stuff to have come off like that on Friday and then manage to ride again on Sat!
Hope your not too stiff and battered today.

I'm not to bad - was quick achy over the weekend but am ok now

At least you hopped right back on and kept on riding. That'll do wonders for your confidence. Cripes what a L O O O N G way to fall, though Did that upset his sale?

Loved the other pics and the vid of Fearn jumping. Looks like she really enjoys her jumpies

I didn't get back on Sovereign - decided I would be better off not to!! I got on Fearn - a lot closer to the ground (14.2!!). Nope didn't upset the sale at all - he was just full of the joys of Spring!!

[Debbie]

LOL...yes, closer to the ground appeals to me too, that's why I stick with the ponies. Glad it didn't upset the sale for Sovereign. He looks a sweet sort, even if he was on springs

[xxkatejayxx]

Here is me and Sovereign before the fall - excuse my position I was sorting my stirrups out

[leannwithconnie]

Ohh he is a handsome boy!!
