Falling
I hope you will take a few minutes to read this beautiful and inspiring post from one of my favorite bloggers, Almost Farmgirl. I absolutely loved it! 🙂
Have a wonderful day!!
“Oh, I’ve never fallen off…”
She thinks she’s bragging, but the little girl, or teen, or grown-ass woman (or perhaps man) who utters those words in the horseback riding world has failed to read the room. We are not impressed. In fact, the polite among us are trying not to laugh in her face. She looks with at the other riders with expectation, all of us with muck on our boots, sweat under our helmets and horsehair on our jeans. We, she implies, have fallen, and she has not; therefore, obviously, her skills are greater. We should accept the inevitable conclusion that she is the superior rider.
It’s almost cute, really…
But we know something she doesn’t. We know there are only two types of horseback riders: Those who have fallen off, and those who will.

So true! it’s what you do after you fall off that determines if you are a rider. Thanks for sharing. Yep I have fallen off. More than once.

Great blog post, thanks for sharing it! I think that philosophy certainly applies to more than horseback riding, for sure.
