Today was a big day. You fell off your horse today. Well more like Flew off your horse!! The farm had some workers up on the roof doing some repairs. We were getting ready for a snow storm. Well they were pounding on something and another woman was ridding Buddy. Buddy was spooked the whole ride but about half way though he took off. The women that was on Buddy was heavy and experienced so she was able to stop him but White took off with you. You tried to hold on but he was at a full Gallop and there was no way for you to get him under control. After about a half a loop you fell off toward the wall. As soon as you fell off it was almost like White had breaks on. He stopped right there. I ran into the ring and and helped you stand up. You were crying so I scooped you up in my arms and carried you back over to the mounting blocks. I sat you down the brushed you off, felt your legs and made sure nothing was broken. I wiped your tears and stood you up and said " Are you ready to get back on" You said "YES" They walked you around the ring a few times and off you went.
You are going to fall allot in life.... Remember to get back up! I will always be there to pick you up and dust you off. I love you very much Maddy

I am still trying to rebuild the database that I lost but i am amazed on how much you remember about your lessons. You were able to tell me that Sunny was share boarded and that she was a really smooth ride.

No one showed up today so you had a private lesson. At this barn you are still doing the basics but it helps give you more saddle time.
