So I fell off a horse. Again. :D

We’re all fine, we’ve just been having many adventures in Horseland the past week or so. Trail riding season is upon us, and my piriformis isn’t used to this nonsense anymore… boy does the padded bit of me that goes between the rest of me and the saddle have a few opinions about resuming this particular exercise. We’re also taking care of a Bonus Dog for a friend right now which means I’m doing about twice as much walking as I normally do and I normally do plenty of walking.

We’ve done a couple of fun jaunts with friends Abby and Julia, one of which involved Ormr meeting his nemesis, the Ambush Border Collie at a local farm. This dog lives to spook horses, and fortunately so far every time it’s surprised us I’ve managed to stay on. Including this most recent one!

However, we did have a little incident recently where A Certain Horse wasn’t thinking about his feet, and tripped. I went up his neck, and decided that it was a better idea to roll off the side and not hurt me or Ormr trying to push myself back into the saddle. So I did, and no harm done.

He’s a very good boy, and once I was off his neck, he stood back up and looked down at me like, “You need a hand down there?” while I checked his legs.
