Oh, Celeste, I'm not sure.  The hardest fall I ever took was in the dressage
warm-up arena.  Now everyone raves about the "wonderful position" a rider
can attain in a dressage saddle, but no-one warns you that if your horse
rears you have nothing to hold onto, do they?  Do they?  No, they bloody
DON'T.  AND they took away the martingale, so there wasn't even a neck
strap.


And talking to DQs always makes me want to swear, or fart.  Don't ask me
why.
