It was just a normal training ride.
And I wanted to be a good student.
So I was like, you know what?
We'll forego the saddle.
I've got this.
When you're riding, there's a few different gates.
There's the really gentle walk, pretty self-explanatory.
Then you go into a trot, which is a lot bouncier.
Not super comfortable when you have a saddle.
Definitely not comfortable when you don't have a saddle.
And then there's the canter, which is this really nice kind of loping gait.
My horse, the retired racehorse that he was, he was always wanting to go as fast as he could during this.
So it was this like push-pull kind of dynamic between the two of us.
But we get into the canter.
It's going great.
He's pulling a little bit.
I start to notice these kind of spasms in my abdominals.
I don't think too much of it.
Bring him back to a walk.
Take a little bit of a breather.
