Today is Margaret's birthday and so we're trying to figure out what we are going to do to celebrate(especially me because I'm a bad sister and don't have a present) since Margaret is working tonight for the devil being a telemarketer.
On Monday during my lesson I fell off of Goldie, the pony that I sometimes ride, but it was what my Aunt Jeannie would call a "baby fall." I was learning how to put my feet back in the stirrups if I lose them-at a trot. I was going clockwise and had my outside foot out and had almost got my foot back in the stirrup when I lost my inside stirrup and then, while trying to get Goldie to slow down AND get my stirrups at the same time, I realized it was a losing battle and I was going to fall anyway. I'm just glad that I realized that in time to grab the pommel and soften my fall and I'm very, very, very glad that Goldie was sweet enough to stay with me until I was completely off instead of just tearing off around the ring. Compared to my other two falls it didn't hurt at all.
That's all for now!

baby falls are easy to deal with. it is the falls that hurt your tail bone that kills.
