Just grousing...

... about my newly sprained thumb. My poor mount in riding class tonight punched a hole right through the rotting floor in the ring with his enormous hooves and his 1100+ pound weight and we both took a pretty spectacular fall. He almost rolled on me, I'm told, which I'm glad I didn't see. I ate a lot of dirt, and was still covered in it on the subway ride home. Which made me feel kind of cool, actually. But my thumb is swelling up and it hurts. I hope it's not broken.

The horse, Arnold, is okay-- no cuts or scrapes, which amazes me, and went to bed stuffed full of carrots and kisses and praise for being so mellow about the whole thing. Truly a gentle giant.
