What a puss.

I fell off a three-year-old Frisian a few weekends ago, got up, dusted off my backside, and climbed back up on the big guy.

Yippie for your team, and may you always land well, but I think you'd have gotten up slower with broken bones. I'll not taunt fate by pretending I can't be hurt. :~D

Count your blessing Xena.

I was tossed over the top and fractured L-4 and L-5 but luckily healed naturally with much pain after choosing not to have surgery.

I was riding on a beach with boulders and the gal riding with me said I did a good tuck and roll when hitting land.

I still don't know how I got ahead of the horse as when I looked up his hooves were going over the top of me.

I new I was hurt but I had to get up and ride back so I could pick my Quadroplegic Teen (at the time teen) up from H.S. Had staff from the school go over to the hosp. with us directly after.

The ER doc said the only reason he signed a release and did not admit me was he too was a father of a severly disabled child whom he was raising on his own because his wife bailed.

I was very fortunate.
Lord have Mercy was I fortunate.

I have a girlfriend who is a very expereinced rider. Got her had caught in the reins and her hand was mangled very, very badly. Horses are big ... they can be very dangerous.

Having said that, Madonna is poseur. She wants to play the upper class British thing ... we don't have the class system here. Who does she think she's kidding!
