But then -- there's really nothing to hold onto up there, really.
That's what legs are for! Yours, that is.
I've never been injured (beyond my pride) in a fall, but the most serious tumble I took involved a jump that was refused mid-leap (broke the standards, he did). It was so unexpected that I landed on my feet, facing the horse, reins still in hand gaping at him as he stood placidly among the wreckage.
Seriously, though, I think lessons would rock for you. Great exercise + fear defeating! What's not to love?

Wow. That's not usual.
I've only ever fallen off a pony, so that was embarrassing. Of course, I haven't ridden really problem horses either, and have only done small jumps.

Plus meeting new people! And horses!
Wow. That's not usual.
It certainly startled the hell out of me. We were a *little* close on take off, but the time to plant your feet is *before* you've started leaving the ground. It's like his thought process was, "I can make it, I can... SHIT! ABORT! ABORT!"
Oh, that's hysterical. My dog will gallop to the end of the hallway and turn around mid-air just before she hits the wall, but I'm not generally riding her at the time.
Plei, do you know anything about the Parelli method of training? I watched my cousin go through some of it last night with her ornery horse, and it was fascinating to watch.

Nope. I stopped keeping up with things like that over a decade ago, I fear.
Weekend estimates has Flightplan at 15, Serenity at 10

Is that good? I usually don't pay attention to the numbers. Second place is good, right? Will it likely get us more movies?
It's apparently in the ballpark of what Universal was expecting for Serenity. FWIW.
ball park is good - that means they'll keep it around as planned. plus I will boost the numbers by seeing it today/tonight
