"God save my little broken body"

I got thrown into the fence TWICE today while riding. The first time, I broke the fence. The second time, the fence broke me. Well, sorta. My arm got caught up in it and my body went a different way and I pulled everything on my right side. Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow. I have a huge bruise on my left leg that goes from my ankle to my knee, and my ( Read more... )

Oh Erin.. pain meds are your friend, and heal quickly!

Good news about the dog adoption, though!

I took 800mg of ibuprofen. I work tomorrow, so if it's a lot worse I can ask one of the Docs to write me a prescription for something stronger. One of the perks of working at a hospital.

And I'm very happy for Cooper! He bonded with his new family almost instantly :-)

Oh, I know how that feels... Thankfully it's been a few months. Take a hot bath for your muscles and ice and wrap your elbow. It may hurt now, but it's going to hurt worse tomorrow... always does. Take some advil and take care of yourself.

Is Shade just being fresh or is she spooking?

I did take a hot bath as soon as I got home and it was SO NICE :-)

I think she was just being fresh today. The full story is that she's resistant to picking up the right lead, so I decided to really work on that today (yesterday it took like 9 tries.) I had her trot and canter to the left with no problems. When we switched direction, she picked up the wrong lead, so I kept bringing her back to the trot and asking her to canter again. I think she just got pissed about it, so she started bucking... I lost balance and fell on to her neck... I think she took that as a sign to RUN!... until she came up on a corner of the fence where her friend was standing... she did the sharp-turn-sudden-stop-at-the-fence-thing and I went flying into the fence and smashed right through it.

The second time I fell off I was trying to get her to pick up the right lead again, she got mad and bucked a few times in a row, and I kinda bailed before she could take off on me again. I just bailed very poorly and ended up in the fence again.

Don't you hate when mares decide to be pissy?

"Battle" wounds are kinda cool though...

hope you heal quickly

Not that I have ANY experience riding, but that sounded painful. Hope you're feeling better soon!
