Talking about accidents with your horse....tonight I went out to the barn and went on a trail ride with Waylon. After our ride I put his halter on and let him graze. As I was walking him back to the barn he stepped in a hole in the ground that was ground level with no cover. He fell down and knocked me into the round pen that was there. I hurt my shoulder and was pretty shaken up. I went into the barn and told the owner and it didn't seem to faze her. She said it was probably the septic tank and I should watch where I'm going. Can you imagine ?

It turned out that the cover had fallen off and into the hole.

I am somewhat miffed at the owner, she didn't feel it was all that big a deal.

She didn't think it was a big deal? Did she go look at the hole? I'd think it was a pretty big deal to have a septic tank hole open with horses around.

Sheesh! You're lucky neither of you didn't get more seriously hurt.

I'm glad that you're ok! You have every right to be miffed! Is Waylon ok?

I bet you were shook up, that's a terrible shock. Your walking along, and something like that happens. The barn owner should put a stick up or something to mark that spot. If she doesn't you should, so no one else falls in. I hope you are not too sore, and Waylon is ok.

I would be miffed too. It needs to be marked off. Horses shouldn't even be walking over it closed. I hope your shoulder is ok.
