Our goal was to get in there with him and get him used to working with humans, because the day before he was okay with it. I did not pay attention to my horse and how keyed up he was by all of the people and the TV camera, and he clocked me. We took a step backward today, but it was a step forward for me. Even though I had to take a bruise to learn it, I learned my lesson and will not repeat the same mistake again.
