Week 6 - What A Fright

   My scariest experience would probably be when I got caught up in a rope when I got bucked off of a horse. I was out riding by myself and the horse I was riding I hadn't rode in awhile. He was acting stupid and being an airhead so I was working him pretty hard. When I cued him to move his hind end around I leaned forward a little bit too much so when he started to buck I went forward over my saddle. When I went over my saddle my right leg got caught in the third rein we have on our bridles. This freaked the horse out of course and he tried to spin away from me which just swung me by my leg completely around and somehow the strap hooking the rein to the bridle broke. My leg came out of the rope and I landed about fifteen feet from where the horse started bucking. It scared the crap out of me because I had never gotten caught up in a rope before. But I had to get back on and work the horse through it. It still scares me thinking about what would have happened if the strap wouldn't have broken.
