Once upon a time, in a galaxy far far away, Dolce was at her riding class.
The horses were already restless due to the weather change. Mine was especially bad.
All was about fine until the end of class, when we "parked" our horses in a row.
Suddenly, as I was going to stop her, she whipped around. I yanked the reins, desperate to stop her.
What happened next, I had no idea.
I remember sliding off the saddle and I was inches away from the ground, clinging to the horse only by the reins. I only remember thinking to myself, Whelp, since I'm so close to the ground, I might as well get down. I graciously sat down (wow), let go of the reins, stood up and backed off real quick.
According to Mom and my buddy, the horse had apparently done something close to a buck or actually sat its ass down. (Something along the lines)
My buddy kept asking me, "What was it like?" And I said, "I don't know. I just slid off the saddle and I was like this *insert awkward position here* so I sat down, stood up and backed off." Heck, I didn't even know how I got the stirrups off!
His horse, apparently, was next to mine and was so uneasy, he told me he'd considered jumping/falling off. He didn't though.
Mom said I looked calm/derpish, but to be honest, I really wasn't given time to even think, let alone panic. My only thought was to sit my ass down on the ground. The others, my instincts, I guess. The other kids looked freaked as well, and I was like, You didn't even fall! Y U so scared?
Well, Dolce is now safe and sound, so yay, I guess.
