It figures tonight I didn't. She's been so easy and quiet on the lunge lately, and I was short of time. I had gotten on once before without lunging and she acted a little surprised and "cold-backed" for a couple steps. So I decided to check out to see if she is over that now that she has a couple months under saddle, to help decide if it was a physical or psychological reaction. She was totally relaxed and easy-peasy from the instant I mounted until the instant she erupted.
I saw those vests when I was last down at the big horse store. I'm heading down there again to pick up more sea jerky for Jake's hips, so will pick one up then. B-day present for moi! Yup, over 50 we break much easier. Glad I'm only bruised, not broken this time.
Hmmmm....I forgot about glucosamine and arnica. I may have some laying around still, although it's probably outdated. I used to grow arnica as well, but it got overrun by the lemon balm 
I'm reminding myself right now that Dahli doesn't totally understand the implications of dumping her ol' lady. So far, she's learned it got her a tough workout and no carrots or grain. Hopefully after that sinks in for a couple days, she'll have a come to Jesus moment and decide she prefers having me happy then lying on the ground cussing and crying.
