My other RI wanted me to canter 2day for the 1st time (the last time was when the horse spooked so i dont count it).
I was workin on my balance for a lot of it and trying to keep my feet down instead of gripping (very hard)
i cantered once and was fine - he only wanted me to do a few strides which i did and am suprised how much easier it is than sitting trot (which i can't do very well).
Well, i just started cantering a few strides for the 2nd time and did the worst possible thing - i tried to grip with my legs so fell over her shoulder it's only me second fall (the last being the spooked horse) and i am suprised how little i am shocked. I am a little sore and my left knee has a bruise (from when i fell over Moss)
I have forgiven her now and am a little nervous of canter (since i wasn't on lunge - so may ask my other RI next week to put me on it to help)
i'm going to try and upload the video but don't know if i will need to create a youtube account due to it's size - either way i'm going to get it on here somehow it may just take a while
