Phoenix ride #4

[tohma2004]

Rode Phoenix again today. And fell off again today. I tell you what...falling off is a real blow to the confidence. I consider myself a decent enough rider to know how to stay on..but she's killing that slowly >_< But in my defense, I fell off, stood up, went after her, scolded her, got back on, won the battle. Which is more then I was capable of last time. I just wish I knew what sets her off at such random moments. It would make it easier for me to predict she is going to buck and start some preventative measures. But boy can she buck...I thought I was good today, thought I was going to hang on, but she just didn't stop. *sigh* But I got back on and made her behave. That's all that matters.

Tomorrow I will have a large bruise on my right lower leg. My left ankle hurts and my tailbone is killing me. I really don't want to relive that injury...but I think its just bruised and angry that it met the ground with such force. I mostly landed on my side so I'm pretty sure its okay.

Still have all my teeth at least

Dear Lord, Tohma O_o Were the other horses like this when they were being trained? I'm impressed that you are thus far still in one piece. Your Fai coat and staff look amazing, by the way ^_-
