Hoping your hubby is fine real soon Amber.  Also hope you got to see the
exhibition and gave a lot of praise.
Still recovering from a horse related wreck myself, it's been 3weeks so far
,,,but I'm reassured by many that ribs take a while and not to be so
impatient. Have to get my daily horse fix by the scratch & sniff method.
I'm fascinated by all this 'learning' to fall off a horse business.  Is
there a lot of money in becoming an instructor for such a business?  If so,
count me in.  As far as having someone teach me how to fall off, nope but
always received great reviews. In fact I still manage to get a few 9's and
10's from fellow riders who have seen me launched and land.
