That's a new record for me anyway :giggle:
What was supposed to be a nice, quick bareback walk in the school turned out to be a rather embarrassing, funny and painful experience!
We have a set of caravan steps as a mounting block in the school, usually I swing my leg onto her back and pull myself up.
So, I try that today and get stuck, and as there were various farm workers round the arena I decided to try mounting off something higher, so I got a plastic crate and stood it on top of the steps (I now see this was a very stupid idea ) checked it, it seemed secure, so I got on Cleo, although I needed one last shuffle to get into position, didn't realise I still had most my weight on the crate and the whole lot fell down, with me following, I landed sitting on the mounting block :giggle:
so, I got rid of the crate and tried to get on the first way, Cleo of course decided to walk off as I was half on, which then resulted in me sitting on the floor for a second time!
In the end I went to get my saddle :giggle: Its one of those times I really wish someone had a video camera, my back is feeling rather sore, I landed on my Coccyx the first time
