Ups and Downs. (and a big Down)
So I blog about everything good so I guess I should be fair and blog about a bad.
I fell off Miss today. I was due for a fall. Been a while.
Pure and simple, it was completely 100% my fault. I made a mental error, and as a result, ended up on the ground.
Mere was pretty sympathetic and consoled me… we all make mistakes. I just hate making a really dumb one, and yeah, I’m having trouble letting it go. I hate doing dumb stuff! Especially dumb stuff when the mare ur riding is being completely awesome.
Anyhow, I’m completely fine. I’m sure in the morning I will be a lil sore but I seem to have escaped any bruises, etc.
Oh! After I fell, know what Miss did? Stood right there. Didn’t step on me and didn’t run away. Sigh. Thanks, friend.
Hopefully tomorrow will be less eventful.

Hey! Sorry you fell and even sorrier you are beating yourself up over it. Happens to the best of it.

Ouch. Falling is no fun. Sounds like a night for pain killers and adult beverages. ;-) Hope you’re not too sore tomorrow.

Don’t worry about falling off, it is not a big deal what so ever. I know that sometimes it’s super embarassing and what not, but we all do it sometimes. I’ve been riding forever, and I’d have a complex if I stressed about every time I’ve fallen off (Probably on the plus side of 120 times). I’ve fallen off in rings at A Circuit shows, you name it, but you always have to remember everyone falls off.

Yeah I don’t even care about the falling part. I care about being a moron part.
