Falling!

You know I'm sure every horse rider has fallen off once or twice you know in my opinion it make you better but in my horse crazy life I have fallen off twice so far! But this is the story of a fall I will never forget!
It all started July 2008 I was at Berry College Horse Camp, and I had been assigned the horse of my dreams a black Quarter Horse gelding named Cade I was just learning to canter and my instructor was letting me give it a try, so I was cantering faithfully and gracefully but Cade approaches a side of the arena where a rock is sticking out of the dirt in the arena, and he trips he lands on his knees! And I slide onto his neck and he stands up but he flips his neck and you guessed it I went flying! I did a front flip and hit the ground next thing you know I was up on feet again but with a horrible headache from where my helmet squeezed me so hard and my butt hurting because I hit it on the fence! And I took a little break but you know I still ride today if you fall its okay just get on again that's exactly what I did don't be embarrassed because you fall it just makes you a better rider no matter what anyone says!
