Subject: Re: [RC] [RC] Horse with attitude...

Got a question for all of you who are getting dumped by your horses....how
in the world do you land without breaking anything?? I've been dumped by two
red horses which resulted in first my left and recently my right wrist being
shattered...ouch!? 

Both are healed and I am riding again.? We've decided no more red horses for
me though...the first was a gelding getting my left wrist...the last one was
a mare getting my right wrist...hey, at least I'm balanced out now, right?
<g>

SO any advice on how to land better might be helpful...I did say
"might"...only because most times I am pretty stiff and attempt to reach out
and wham...broken wrist.? I am naturally a pretty stiff person when it comes
to falling.? I am also in my mid-50s so there's a definite loss of
flexibility to go along with it all.? 

I've found when I come off sideways that at least I haven't broken
anything...yet.? But going over those left shoulders head first gets me
every time.

Thanks,
Val
