2、to begin again.Henry Ford When I was nine years old,I badly wanted a dog,but my sister was allergic.Knowing my love for animals,my parents allowed me to graduate straight from caring for gerbils and walking the neighbors dog to getting a pony.Bonnie was a dappled brown Shetland pony with a blond man
3、e and tail.While I was a lucky child,I was not a pampered child.I paid for Bonnie with my allowance and money Id earned from doing extra chores.I had no previous horse experience,and I had to learn everything about Bonnies needs because she was my responsibility.I learned how to feed,water and care
4、for her every day.I hauled bales of hay,sacks of feed and buckets of water.I cleaned her stall,wielding a pitchfork and pushing a wheelbarrow.I learned how to brush Bonnie and pick the stones out of her hooves without getting kicked or stepped on.My parents had no previous experience with horses eit
5、her,so we learned together.They helped by hauling the grain and hay from the feed mill,and scheduling Bonnies regular hoof trims and veterinary exams.We learned how to properly fit Bonnies bridle and strap on her saddle.My first riding lesson on Bonnie was in an outdoor arena with a wood fence.The p
6、ainted white boards that circled the ring were nailed to the outsides of wooden posts.I was feeling fine in the saddle,riding around the oval ring,when Bonnie bolted suddenly.Those horizontal boards were mounted low so as to stop a full-size horse from exiting,but Bonnie was short enough to duck her
7、 head and run under one of the boards.She fit,but I did not.Hanging on for dear life,I slammed into the board and knocked it off the posts to which it was nailed.The force of the blow knocked me off Bonnie.As I slid off her right side,the saddle spun around until it was hanging upside down from her
8、belly with my left foot stuck in the stirrup.Bonnie,now at a gallop,dragged me along the ground by my left foot.I still remember the ground scraping along my back as my head bounced up and down and the sky appeared and disappeared.Mercifully,my left foot finally came free.I was left lying on my back
9、 with the wind knocked out of me,the dust from Bonnies hasty retreat clouding up all around.Mom and Dad hurried over to assess the damage.Fortunately,I was a sturdy child.Although I was covered with dust and would soon be black and blue,I wasnt bleeding profusely and didnt have any broken bones.We d
10、idnt wear helmets in those days,and I was a bit dazed,but my skull was intact,and my head seemed to be okay.Mom tended to me as I caught my breath,while Dad hiked off to the far pasture to retrieve Bonnie and the saddle that was hanging upside down from her belly.What had spooked Bonnie so suddenly?
11、We hadnt seen or heard anything.Dad said that hed found a nail protruding from the underside of the saddle.The jab from the nail must have penetrated the saddle blanket and startled Bonnie.Dad fixed the nail so it didnt protrude and re-secured the saddle on Bonnies back.Once Bonnie and I had calmed
12、down and were reassured,trying again was the only option.It was presented humanely,with plenty of support and an explanation for why the ride would be much smoother the second time the nail had been fixed!It helped that Bonnie was exhausted from her gallop to the far corner of the pasture,and that D
13、ad held the reins and led Bonnie around the ring with me back up in the saddle.Bonnie and I learned that trying again could change things.Most people have heard the old saying,“Get back on the horse that threw you.”People usually use that saying figuratively,but I learned it quite literally.As an im
14、pressionable nine-year-old,I learned without a doubt that something that had spun completely out of control into terrifying chaos just a few minutes earlier could turn out to be quite enjoyable the second time.We had survived the chaos!I learned to try again,and to try differently the next time to a
15、chieve a better result.That experience had an enormously positive effect on my life.I think of all the times since then when something went terribly wrong,and I knew viscerally that I could try again and expect a completely different outcome.Like when I was in graduate school and my professor told m
16、e I wasnt graduate school material.I was stunned,but I didnt give up.I fired him as my advisor,found an advisor who believed in me,and earned two graduate degrees.Or when I lost my job due to a corporate acquisition and layoff.Instead of panicking,I took time to write a book and think about what I r
17、eally wanted to do.Then I found a better job at a higher salary.I learned to try again,and to try differently the next time to achieve a better result.My wise parents helped Bonnie learn the lesson well,too.From then on,Bonnie and I were friends,exploring many happy trails together while the saddle
18、and I stayed up top!I never saw the nail.Over the years,Ive sometimes wondered if the“nail under the saddle”was a parental white lie to help get me back on the horse a way to convince me to mount Bonnie and try again,with Dad holding the reins.Recently,almost fifty years later,I asked my parents if
19、there really had been a nail sticking out.They both agreed emphatically that there was,and Dad told me more about how he had fixed it.And that is why my family says,“Get back on the horse that threw you but check under the saddle for a nail first!”This great advice has served me well for most of my
