Horses, Lessons, Say Sarah Sandy: "Berry"

In Which Berry Crashes Again

I had my lesson today, and at first everything seemed fine. I had an awesome lesson! But then I really wanted some media of me jumping, so after sitting and chatting with my trainer a bit, I went back out to jump more.

This was apparently a mistake. Full lesson recap coming, but here is the worst.

Okay, so far everything is fine…

Capture15

Egads!

Capture16

She’s going down! (I really thought we were)

Capture17

But saved by Berry’s somewhat catlike reflexes! (doglike maybe?) She’s never been known for being graceful, so I’m glad she pulled it out of somewhere.

Capture18

Still braced for impact

Capture19

Slinking away from the scene

Capture20

Examining the damage. One standard is completely down, repeat, one standard is down.

Capture21

The face of bewilderment. Apparently it takes me many strides to recover from this kind of trauma.

Just one of many terrible jumps. Womp womp.
