6 weeks ago tonight I fell off Rupert as he took off across the pasture. I'm pretty sure I passed out in fear since I knew I couldn't stop him. Bruised tailbone and related muscles are still sore and today is even worse, but it was worth it. I rode for the first time since the accident.
This afternoon, I saddled Kid up and rode in the same pasture. I was tense but that was more from being in pain than being afraid. After 15 minutes or so I was done but I am so glad I did it. Since trotting hurts right now, I'm going to use my time with Kid to start anew.
Rupert has been with a trainer since the accident and probably will remain for another month at least. I'm going to try to see him this weekend.
