Confessions!

Hey guys sorry these are late, but like I said I have been busy!
Confession 1: I used to have really hard, loud hands, it carried over from when I was still a little kid, I had to pull as hard as I could (I started riding by myself at age 5-6) so I kept doing it until I realized I was doing it and then I fixed it!
Confession 2: I used to put the saddle on wrong! Everyone in my family thought we were doing it right, Nick even used to work at a riding stable, and thats how they did it there too! We put the girths too far back, and it it put pressure on their stomachs where it shouldn't have.
Confession 3: I had really bad legs! Up until about a year ago, I had really really bad legs, they were unsteady, and I didn't even realize it until I started riding english, when I started riding english, I was posting I would always fall forward because my leg wasn't stable enough. I will say when it comes to balance english is way harder than western, and english people riding in an english saddle will feel like riding in a car seat!
Confession 4: After my accident with Chuck I was scared to ride him again, but as you can see that has all changed, that was the worst accident I have been in, and the only time in my life I have blacked out, I knew that any time I am on a horse it could kill me, but that really hit me I could have very easily died that day, I could have blacked out and never woke up again, but I am here to tell the story, its a risk we take, and like they say you ain't a cowgirl till you've been bucked off at least once!
Some of the others say fall 7, but falling is easy!
