I've ridden quite a bit over the last year, but not had a great deal of instruction, even in lessons. In March 09 I started riding my friend's pony. I had some good times and some bad with him. The worst was one day we were cantering up a field, quite fast, and he tripped. We both went head-first into the ground! A bit later that day, leaving the field, I was closing the gate when he bolted. Luckily I stayed on, but the force pulled my should out. The bugger!
