Yup, I fell off. I don't mind I told Sundance it wasn't his fault, but his owners don't understand him. My trainer says "he doesn't spook", yeah, that's totally why I got bucked off today and was ran into a tree after he reared a couple weeks back. Nope, the mustang doesn't spook at all. So now not only do I need a new helmet, but I need a new trainer who will actually believe me when I tell her that Sundance does spook,
but is over all a good horse. I need a trainer, who when I use the commands that my boss, Sundance's owner taught me, won't yell at me for using as "their not proper". Bullshit. If that's how Sundance was trained goddammit, than those are the fucking commands I'm going to use on him. Kay? Good.
Jake said he'll get me a new helmet for Christmas & my birthday which is alright, as a cheap one is like $50 :) But, I'm so lucky I had the helmet on. I hit that ground so hard, I'm actually questioning if I have a slight concussion from the hit. My helmet had already been through one fall, and is about 8 years old, so I needed a new one as the protection foam was disintegrating, I just didn't plan on forcing the need of a new one, by falling off a horse and onto a couple rocks.
If there's one thing that my old trainer Jen taught me, was that it's never the horses fault. It's always you. I made sure Sundance knew that I wasn't mad at him. I was mad at Otis (the dog who spooked Sundance). And I told Sundance that he did everything right and I still loved him. He even let me give him a kiss :)
Now, I just have to find a trainer who will travel out to Timbuktu and has worked with Mustangs and will listen to me.

PS. for those wondering, this is what Sundance looks like :)

If you aint been bucked of you aint rid much.
Hurts your pride more than anything else.
He's a beautiful horse! It sounds, to me, like you are doin the right stuff. I hope you're okay.
Uncle Rain - Oh, I've been bucked off, thrown off, kicked, bitten, dragged, just about everything. Yesterday I was more upset at my trainer for not believing me that Sundance spooks.
Kenda - He's gorgeous, and it pains me how his owners and my trainer don't/won't understand him. I can only do so much, and it's going to kill me when I have to leave the barn and leave him behind.
