INteresting Lesson+Worst Fall yet!

[Grace, Rocco and Rip]

So i was riding Rocco in my lesson, cuz I lease him now. He has a pretty big rushy problem over fences that I am trying to fix. Anyway. I warmed him up walk/trot/canter, and tryed to keep my leg steady throughout each w/t/c. And also my hands. After warming up w/t/c we jumped around a little. We first trotted in a little x-rail and cantered out. Lindsay has been working with me to grab mane in the center of Rocco's neck over the jumps. We did all the jumps a few times at the trot, and then cantered them. I worked on a steady pace into them, which worked for some of the jumps others it just didn't happen! it was the first time I rode him in the Martin gale, so his head was lower than usual. We cantered the line, which didn't work the first time. And then we did it again. That time he did it really nicely for me. Later in the lesson we were doing a course. We were on the last jump, turning from the line to a single, when rocco fell. I went down with him. (this was on monday) I have a couple bruises on my leg and arms, and am really sore. But Im okay and so is Rocco. When we finished, I gave him his evening oats, a couple treats, and messaged his neck a little. :)
