Hey sry i haven't realli been able to repli lol been realli busy!
here is my worst fall...its kinda intersting...i guesss
many of u may r may not know aspen... but basicalli he is a realli realli realli realli big bay horse that (as far as i know) lives in cornerstone. well one time i was riding him and he has a realli pounding canter (at this time he was realli green and he had a strong canter and he was liek numb with the reins) and when i went to turn left he swung right causing me to fall off the other side and I landed between him (and teh saddle) and the wall... and basicalli i was liek there for half the length of the wall till finalli he moved off and i was able to go free!!!! i still have the scar on my elbow from where all the wood chips got kinda stuck lol!! its liek a suvineer! aniways thats one of my worst falls lol!
tell ur bad fall stories on this post if u wish!
P.S. i still love aspen but they didn't realli let me ride him after which sucks....
my worst fall out of the many i have had was probably on my first lesson.
camp had just finished and me and alley were picking our horses that we wanted to ride in our lesson. i picked oreo (i had rode remi at camp). during the lesson someone opened a door in the lounge and it freaked oreo out and he reared! i was dragged a little but luckily i had a safety stirrup. well it took about 5 min to get him calm and i dont think we ever found the elastic! well, i didnt want to ride oreo after that (i rode him last summer at camp!) and i rode tigger for the rest of the lesson!
and of course my most "famous" fall is my "bottoms up" fall which there is picture of on this very website! good ol' aurora horse show- so many memories and I love dylan so much lol.
Then there was when i fell 3 times in one lesson. on dylna all at the same spot!
then once when i did a jump i went up onto dylans neck!
then at camp (this happened twice! once on gus, once on tigger) we were riding bareback and since i didnt really know what i was doing then i slipped off!
then when i rode curtis after the jump i fell off
then one time i just hopped off dylan because i thought i was just going to fall anyways
there is definately more but i cant remember them right now!
curtis -well mine i have lots but mine is when i was riding Curtis and we were at a canter heading for a big jump and she sota stoped in front or slowed down . i fell rite off and landed on a board which it my bac then i got that nail thing (which holds the jump but that lil sharp thing) in my wrist and it hurt.
tigger-well i was just a biginner and i was learning how to go into 2 point over trotting poles and i went over them (and yes there was 5 ) and yes tigger jumped them he jumped bout a 2'9 and i fell off landed on my feet but it was funny
i think thats it if i missed thumbthing tell me plz
Hmmm i have had a lot of falls lol but thats what learning is about .....
My worst fall would have to be when I was riding my old pony Bear and we were canting to a jump and knowing him with circles before the jump started to go fast than he has this bucking problem and i fell off and he dragged me over the jump and out the arena in the barn lol
oh lol tell me more i luv memories as you ppl kno me then ye si sorta laugh at everything because my life is at the barn and on the computer or running track relay cross country(sorry i am the fastest out of all the pplz in gr 5 including the guys and ya) i dunno if this makes sense
lol i would say yes but shes alot to handle and i am going trillium with her and so we are going to be doing way different stuff than you but you can ride her once in a while when i am there
oh it's a showing circut like umm i dont really know how to put it but theres like shooling shows abd than trillium shows and than A shows and so on i think i put that right lol
i've had a lot of falls but none really really bad. i think my worst one was when i was riding dylan and we were circling and he decided to jump the jump that we were circling in front of and he jumped the highest part of the x and i fell of in the air. i landed on my leg and sarah's mom had to get me a chair cause i couldn't stand on my leg. it really hurt. but i didn't break it... and i got back on for a while but then i hurt too much and i had to go sit in the lounge.
and other time when i was riding oreo we were going over trotting poles and he spooked and i landed on the ground on my butt. my sister and kris were laughing so hard.
the first time i cantered i was on a lung line and oreo went straight instead of in a circle and ran into some poles and standards and i fell off.
and once oreo refused and i fell off and landed on the poles. that hurt
and the funniest time was when i fell off at the aurora trillium... my girth wasn't really done up and my saddle fell of and i landed on my butt. lol. that was funny
and then i fell off when i was jumping with oreo and i lost my stirrup but decided to do the jump anyways and fell off. i just laughed. i think oreo was more scared than me.
i am afraid of falling off of curtis though. he's soooooooooo big and i've seen a lot of people fall off of him. falling off him would hurt cause he's so high!
i think that's most of my falls the other ones are just ones where oreo spooked and i landed ont he ground or when dylan would refuse or something.
i dunno... sabina put me to work when i got there so i didn't get to see lori and sabrina. she said that it was good though.
i rode curtis and i like the way he jumps. it's not boring like how oreo just trots over the jumps, he actually jumps! and i like that i don't have to worry about him spooking. that was nice. but my legs really hurt from getting him to move.
Awh sam !!! i remember when you feel off dylan at the auroua show lol
ah we all have our falls lol there was this one time at york i was riding bear and it was in the hack trillium class and we were cantering and u know how there is that judge in the middle sometimes well bear started to gallop and be a retard and dumped me off him right in front of the judge and the judge was afraid of bear running her over she dropped her clipbaord and ran out of the arena lol
i was riding dan and we were doing jumps and he stopped right infront of the jump so i was turning him around so i could try the jump again and my stirrup got caught on the standard and i was dragging it across the srena and i was trying to get it out and the dan was turning and was twisting my leg and it came out and fell on dan and he was like really confused
i dont know if that makes sense to you ppl but it was really funny!
no i was riding daz and lori dropped the pole and meg was on oreo oreo spooked ran into daz's butt and she started cantering and meg fell off and landed on her bac
another time i was supposed to ride dan and i said lori i aint riding him so she said i can change ao i got dylan and meg ride dan rite and she went over one lil jump (and her arm hurt likr hell and she came to the barn i was like thats a lil gay rite) then she goes over the jump starts crying and then i just like laughing
Why you gotta be mean about it. Megs was hurt, she hit her arm, and don't tell me you haven't cried after you fell off or got spooked If you recall, Megs is a little tiny thing, she doesn't have too much flesh on those little bones

Helen was right...Trillium is a level in showing and riding. Schooling shows, trillium shows, A circuit and so on. The Aurora show is a trillium level show, the people that show at that level are very competitive - I think this year my girls will stick to Pause a While shows and maybe Foxhunter shows - better to do really well at a lower level show then to waste $$ at a higher level show and not do well at all
