Hi everyone,
So I had made the decision to take a horse back we had out on loan as there had been a few serious near misses and the horse was simply taking the mick. The adult lad had been taken off with a few times. Upon making my decision I left him with the loaner for a month but said he was only allowed to be ridden in the school, this was to give them time to find something more suitable.
Some of you may remember I bought this horse sold as seen as a project from the field about 5 years ago however when I loaned him apart from the odd buck in excitement he was fantastic! I made the decision to loan him just prior to my bowel resection so May 2018. However now hes back as I found out on Monday he is worse on the ground than when I bought him, I havent been on him yet as I was planning on riding Mon but this happened prior. On Mon morning he decided to take off whilst I was leading him and opening a gate, if Id known how bad he was Id of led him in a chifney, I kept hold as long as I could, he then turned a corner I flew in the air and landed on my left shoulder.
I have managed to break the head of my humerus and also fracture down the bone So my left arm is in a lot of pain and unusable, as for my right it aches so much from the initial yank I cant lift a 4 pint of milk! They cant plaster it cause its too high. Picture of the culprit!! Hes 15.2/3 and a 9.5" bone, hes a unit, and he clearly won this disagreement. Been sent to a friend who breaks etc on Thurs for 4 weeks as dont want my daughter handling whilst he clearly has got no manners.
Just wondered if anyone has had the same injury and how long recovery took? xx
