Scary Moment

Tonight was just a rough night for royal in general. I was surprised to find I had Snookie for the ride. Her RT rider just graduated plus they weren't riding tonight so I don't think I will keep her but who knows. We did two grand entry drills so I got to sit and watch. Then we did two drills. I was 3-6 and when we hit Mariners cross I felt like my cinch was loose. Then we hit propeller and I felt it shift over to the right. I called a halt ho just in time. My saddle was over to the right about to tip over. Thank goodness Snookie stopped on a dime and my team as well. I was able to dismount move the saddle re cinch and off we went. I was so angry at myself and embarrassed. I was so sure it was tight before I went in. The drills were rough tonight too. I rode 3-8 for the other drill. Overall not a bad practice but not a good one.
