Thank you so much to Cha Ching's mom for catching this GREAT moment! There's more to the video, of course, but this part is spectacular. Rather than be alarmed, I was ecstatic when I saw it. What a great confidence builder to see yourself thrown so far off balance only to recover immediately. Love it!

Ride 'em cowgirl! You said he could get frisky, but until now, he has always been the cute little gentleman when I'm around!
