    Why do we do it?

    Why do we do things that we know will eventually bite us in the arse


    For example, why on earth would you ride a big horse (he's 18 hands which is about 6 ft 2 I reckon)

    This horse has a mind of his own and decides that he's a bit scared of something so turns quickly across the school, Sharrie desperately trying to slow said horsey down and failing miserably and manages not to fall off.

    Until, he decides that actually he'd not finished running and turns sharply dumping Sharrie onto her shoulder, head and getting a face full of horse poopy sawdust.




    Owwwie, it is such a long way to fall off, but I got my arse back on and finished the lesson

    Still have to wonder why, and in a week I'll go back for more.

    I have a sore nose where my helmet hit it, bruised shoulder and I can't lift my arm, my knee feels like it's been hit with a sledge and my back hurts.


    Bloody horse !!!!!!!!!

    Because it's fun

    Niamh's been thrown off twice while cantering, when JohnnyBoy took exception to something or other Winston did the other end of the arena.

    She wasn't the slightest bit phased - she just remounted and carried on while I was being recussitated

    I HOPE you wear a proper vest when you're cantering. !!!!!!!!

    Moon I have been taught how not to fall off, it's funny how it all gets pushed to the back of your head when your clinging on for grim death. ALl I kept thinking was **** he's got big feet, I hope he's careful where he puts them when I hit the floor
