Making History

Ok, so I know it's been almost a month since I last posted but things have been especially crazy since then. So the rodeo went ok. I kinda had a hard time with my horse through the whole night but I made it through. The only bad thing is that I had gone boating the day or two before and had hurt my back so riding hurt my back even more. But I got a lot of pain relievers and that helped a lot. The next night went better. I worked out most of the issues with the horse and did fairly well through the whole thing. However at the end I was struggling a little with my back and keeping my feet in the stirrups, so at the end I finally got my foot back into the stirrup and began to exit out the arena. Well, unfortunately I made a dumb mistake by not checking my cinch before we went in and Flash (the horse I was riding) sucked in his gut a bunch so my saddle worked pretty loose and slide off with me along with it. I almost made it out of the arena before I fell off but, I did fall off. So that Sucked! But luckily I landed on my butt then fell on my back so I didn't re-injure my back but I sure was hurting to move. I have been popping so many pills to try and get my back rested up to be able to ride again that one would think that I was a druggie! I sure felt like one.
Well luckily my back has been feeling better enough to ride, but there also have been issues with the horses and so I haven't been able to ride in the Ogden Pioneer Days Rodeo at all but I might be able to ride in the State Fair in a month and a half or so. So I'll keep you posted!
