You've been taking lessons for 6 years or more, you took lessons all year
long for the past 12 months, and you *still* fell off the damn horse??!!


You're absolutely useless at horse riding so it's high time you took up
another hobby. Please don't even consider skydiving.


May I suggest crocheting, or knitting??


No sympathy for the busted rib, dude, you got what you deserved for
thinking that you can do something you can't.
