Best as I can figure, she just hit a slick patch and her feet all shot sideways at once. I rolled over her shoulder and hit the ground rolling. Heard her go "WHUUUFF!" as her side hit - jumped to my feet and turned around - she was still on her side and her eyes were big as saucers, she didn't struggle or kick. I ran to her head, she just lifted her head and rolled onto her chest and waited, watching me. So I rubbed her ears a little, told her she was a good girl, and encouraged her to stand up. She got up immediately, shook herself like a dog, and waited for further instructions. I walked her out, then trotted her out, she was perfectly sound, so I readjusted the saddle, found a fallen tree, and climbed back on. (We took it easy for the rest of the hunt and went around all the big fences).
She is a pretty unflappable mare.
She sounds like a wonderful horse. So, how did you roll off without her pinning your leg?
Poor girl! Sounds like she got the wind knocked out of her. She sounds like a real sweetheart.
