I've had a decent amount of fails while riding Teddy, most of them were my fault, and most of them i laugh about...I have only ever gotten 1 fail on camera :( but i will post the picture of it!
I would say my stupidest fall was this summer when i was warming Teddy up before my lesson and waiting for my trainer, but i got bored and one of the girls i was riding with told me i should ride my already warmed up and ready to go horse side saddle, and being my stupid self i thought 'sure, why not' the second i ask him to trot he goes into his bouncy fast trot, instead of his cute comfy jog, because he wanted to canter. I half fell, half jumped, and ended up landing on my knees. Teddy had no clue what had just happened and me and the girls i was riding with were laughing for a good 5 minutes about it. My worst fall was probably when Teddy and I were jumping and I ended up losing my balance and smashed my head on the ground. My ears were ringing, everything was blurry and i couldn't stand for like a minute. then i got back up and did the jump again, of course i couldn't see right and i was already off balance because i had fallen before, and i fell again... My most unexpected fall was a week ago in a lesson when Teddy decided why walk though a mud puddle when you can just jump over it? I'm glad he is putting him jumping skills to the test, but I would be happier if i was aware of it beforehand! I now avoid mud puddles... I have had a whole bunch of falls, more than i can even remember, and a lot of them are just stupid little things like attempting to trot with no stirrups and neck reining when your horse cant neck rein and almost crashing into a jump standard, or cantering with no stirrups when your horse breaks into an insane power trot that no one in the world could sit to. But Teddy is adorable, and I love him, insane power trot and all. I have to have like 1,000 saddle pads(just kidding, i have like...20) and i had to bring a few of them home to get washed, and so i didn't have a bunch of saddle pads in my locker...so while I have some home i might as well share them since someone asked to see them. I have: 3 half pads -1 sheepskin(at the barn) -2 riser pads 2 show pads(at barn) 2 shaped pads 1 dressage pad 11 all purpose pads (not all are shown) Teddy is about 15.3, maybe 16 hands , he has no markings, except for a faint star that comes in around the winter. He LOVES mints, but I don't like feeding him treats all the time, as i get paranoid. He hates the cold, and is not a happy camper when it comes to anything having to do with the winter (this is going to be a LOOOONG winter). He has a big stride, and a lot of people say he is awkward, but I am so used to him that I don't notice it. He looks pretty awesome in pink...but sometimes i feel a little guilty putting him in pink because people think he is a mare, but thankfully he is bay, so he can pull off any colors(except maybe brown...).He hates his blanket(I don't blame him...its plaid, eww)He has a hunter clip, and looks like he is a bright bay at the moment. In march of 2014 he got colic :( but thanks to the help from the barn owner and TUFTS large animal hospital he pulled through. we don't know what caused it, so I am very careful as to what I feed him now.
...not sure what else to put in here, I will put more about his past in another post, and post about what we have been up to recently. |
