4/19/08

Well, the deed is done. Today I took my first spill off Mattie. Today was the third time cantering under saddle, it was my fault, I used the whip but didn't give with my hands, she had nowhere to go but up and then she bucked. Cheryl said I was about ten feet in the air. Got back on (after a minute of laying in the dirt regrouping) and did a fantastic canter. Yup, this old lady's pretty sore. Can't wait to do it again tomorrow (and hopefully stay on! haha).

Hi Jen,
I love your blog! Great pictures of Mattie. I am trying to figure out how to put a picture of you guys on my blog.
See you tomorrow at the farm!
