I was more interested in discussing the experience of riding and the exhilaration and fear. I was a little confused when Larissa recounted her daughter’s telling her to canter up the hill and hold tight on the horn and grab the mane if she was scared. What happened to holding the reins? I remember once I had terrible back pain and was riding a course and jumping. My horse stopped and I continued over the jump landing on my back. My instructor rushed over and asked if I was ok. I was and I got up and no more back pain, it must have loosened all those tight muscles and knocked the fear out of me.
