coming off horses

Forgive me for my lack of posting...being in transition between NY and SC, I have been busy with horses.
What can I say, if you ride, you will fall off. It really is a matter of gravity at times. For me, it seems just when I am thinking well of myself (maybe too well!) and proud of my ability to master communication with horses (maybe too proud), I find myself on the ground. It seems to happen once every couple of years and I have come to call this my serving of "humble pie". A check if you will, that I don't get too big for my britches!
Last Sunday afternoon, I held a "Julie's back in Aiken, SC Demo and Social Gathering". I gave a nice demo with a couple of my horses to a nice crowd of folks who really seemed to enjoy themselves. As I was cleaning up that night and through the next day, I was pretty pleased with myself. Well wouldn't you know it, it was the next day that I came off a young horse! There were some extenuating circumstances, but none the less, I came off and have been a wee bit sore for the last couple of days. Maybe it is not a bad thing to slow down a little, accept help from friends,reflect on my personal horsemanship, and have my serving of humble pie.
Brace yourself and enjoy the attached video recently forwarded to me, credit to whoever put it to the music. Ouch, that had to hurt!
