11. Ouch! Similar thing happened to my sister

Thursday

We took her horseback riding along with her daughter. We all mounted and then it was her turn. There was a step stool to help throw her leg over but her jeans (she hadn't packed sweat pants or anything like them) were a bit tight and she clipped the top of the horse's back. He shifted forward and she lost her balance. She actually bounced her back off the step stool and then hit the ground.

I was mortified until I found out she was okay. We still laugh about it once in a while, but she is highly unlikely to ever get back on that "bicycle" ever again.
