That would be me. I fell out of a few but it was still cool. I fell off my horse more times than I'd like to admit only because I was trying to learn a new trick for the horse show.

My dad never told me there was anything I couldn't do because I was a girl. He taught me how to do an oil change and change a flat tire. He was a great dad.
