Re: [RC] [RC] falling off the horse-long - which . chickI don't mind the sideways teleport spooks (I have long legs and a very short top, center of gravity for me is about three inches below my bellybutton) but the 180s can sometimes get me. She has dumped me several times, mostly over cars (her big issue), in a 180/buck/bolt sequence, though only once this year. I broke her to ride myself and I keep getting back on after the spills because she's got enough good points to make me want to work on the car issue until we've got it licked. On an only slightly-related note, we (yesterday) finished our first official out-in-public ride, 28.7 miles at the state 4-H CTR in 80 degree heat with buckets of humidity. (Weird for PA in late Sept. and about 20% of the starters didn't finish.) We got first adult hwt and high point adult rider. I know it's only a 4-H CTR but I was still pretty happy. I think maybe I'd like to try a real ride next year. Jessica =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
