yesterday i jumped off a running horse.

jessie and i went back to the park and helped betsy with the horses again. when we took a couple out in the ring to warm up to go riding, my horse went all crazy go nuts... we were trotting and then she decided that she, in fact, was tired of trotting and would much rather go for a full out run. betsy hasn't taught us about galloping yet, so i ended up jumping off the horse since we were then totally out of control. i ended up in the sand and we watched my horse go galloping around the ring with saddle slowly sliding down to one side, and eventually all upside down around her belly. we let her go back up toward the barn and then betsy went and got her. she was fine, i was fine, and sure enough i got back on the horse after betsy saddled her up again. it was the most exciting sunday i've had in a little bit. betsy said the weather change freaks 'em out sometimes and that it wasn't anything i did wrong, just wierd horse mojo day, which happens sometimes.

christmas carol is finally officially open but i haven't been able to find a review for it. when i do i'll post it. i'm pretty happy with the end result but there are still a ton of things i would like to do to really finish it. i won't be able to though, on account of there's two other shows i'm working on now - italian american reconciliation and proof.

speaking of that, i should go to work.
