Oh gravity!

"When falling from great heights, one must not think of the landing, but look ahead to how one is going to pull oneself back up."

Rosie sent me turf surfing after another bout of jockey training. I'm so annoyed that I fell off after already surviving a half mile gallop with one stirrup. But she hung a sharp right and I stayed left. Oh well, it happens. I was more annoyed that she broke her bridle so I couldn't get back on. But it was kinda my fault. I was cantering around the outside of the pasture and thought it was cute that the other horses were cantering along the fence with us. It didn't occur to me that they might spin and gallop off bucking in the other direction. And that maybe Rosie might follow them. Naughty Rosie-roo.
