A Max update: I fell off today! And there’s video ! I’m completely fine, as is Max, aside from his lizard brain deciding the jump he’s jumped one million times was suddenly S C A R Y. If you look closely you can see that I’m wearing a vest, and it puffs up as I’m going down. My parents got me this airvest as a birthday gift after I bought Max, because I’ve had two back surgeries to resolve damage done by a bad fall and I don’t want to go through that again. I’ve fallen off Max four times, all while wearing my vest, and every time I’ve walked away with at most mild tailbone pain. Today I popped up, got back on, and kept riding. I’m so grateful for my vest, and I wonder daily how life might be different if I’d been wearing one when I fell off and got really hurt. Better late than never!
Also Max is just fine and was perfect in our lesson aside from this so he still got many treats. Also, he turned 19 on the 12th ! The whole barn sang happy birthday while he ate his horsecuterie board. ❤️🍎🍬
I love your Max updates. I'm glad you weren't hurt in your fall, and that Max wasn't spooked too badly. His horsecuterie board looks delicious!
More Max updates forthcoming now that the weather is nice! He loves his horsecurerie boards but we were all surprised to see him avoid the carrot cake like the plague. I think it was the cream cheese frosting—equine digestive ststems can’t process dairy, so they flat refuse to eat. I had to (“had to” lol) eat the blueberries and carrots with frosting on them.
Also, after I fell off, he immediately stopped. Our guy would always rather chill than expend more effort to run away 😂😂😂
