		<description>Plans are good.  I plan not to get hurt.  

Congratulations on being one dump closer to your goal  :) (I never though to count my own falls...I suspect I'm a really, really good rider by now...)</description>

		<description>Definitely fair enough!  My only goal yesterday was to not get thrown again ;)  Ended up working on distinguishing canter leads from the centre line (my boy seems to have trouble picking up his right lead) and the lesson was pretty good, but boy did I have a forward pony!  Too much energy :D</description>

		<description>Sorry about getting "dumped."  Seems like you are handling it well.  It is great to go in having a plan, but be ready to chuck the plan if things are heading in other directions.  I always go in with a couple goals, but my horse usually has other ideas.  As long as I feel like we have made some positive progress, I consider it a sucess.</description>
