Bruised Ego and Tailbone

So I am so embarrassed, I was so excited to ride my horse. I am just learning to ride and not very good, but I love to ride. My horses name is Dot. She was not in a good mood, but I thought I could ride it out of her. She was ok at first then she started to crow hope, which I can handle, but then she took off, I have never been on a horse that has gone so fast. Dot tried to run me into the fence. Then she took off even faster. I was scared and did a stupid thing and held onto the saddle. Which through me off balance so when she took the corner I flew off her and hit my tailbone really hard. I know holding onto the saddle was so dumb, I have friends that ride all the time and they have always told me that holding on to the horn is not a good thing at all. Russ mentioned that fact while I was laying on the ground wondering if we should call the ambulance. I just got so scared. I ended up really sore and cried that night because I could not move and it hurt so freaking bad. It has been 2 days and I am now just walking around. I am still really sore, I have learned my lesson and understand why everyone always say not to hold onto the horn or the cantle, especially don’t hold onto both at the same time.
PS. So if you see me I deserve to be laughed at.

I am so sorry I am not very good at keeping up on my blog. It has been a crazy summer. Then school started I was so excited about the kids going back to school then they left and I was so excited for them to come home, I missed them. Its really sad thinking that next year my youngest will be going to kindergarten all day. I think that the kids are happy to be with friends and they love their teachers. I am thrilled to have my house organized again, but it gets lonely sometimes.
Some really good friends were down the other day; she had just shot her first antelope. She was so happy and a little sad, but I think that I am going to take hunter safety. My friend wants me to so we can go hunting together, which could be a lot of fun.
