i dont half choose the right time to do things...

[*-crazy-chaz-*]

hmmm well today me thinks was a good day to fall off a 16hh 26yo (6 yo mentally! ) tb.

why?

i would love to know what goes on inside my brain. especially the reason why i didnt think 'grab onto the pommel!'

basically the horse decided she was going to go for a gallop, i lost my stirrup + had basically zilch rein, and i was trying to stand up at the same time because she was galloping. she moved sideways and off i went!
right on my hip
and...



i've got a show tomorrow

and im gymkhana and jumping and inhand + ridden

yep, i sure know the right time to do things!

Lol
I fell off my 26 yr old mare last november!!! She spooked at a pheasant that flew virtually under her nose. She plunged, bucked & spun at the same time! I went straight out the side door, bang onto my left hip. I had it drummed into to me as a child to NEVER let go of the reins, so i held them, she tried to rear so i had to jump up as quickly as i could. I felt like i has been stretched out a couple of inches after!
It was a few months before my hip felt right.
Hope you don't feel too stiff tomorrow.
Shows that some of the oldies are rebellious pensioners with a sense of humour!

Oh no Hope you're OK

Not good timing as you say Some horses clearly don't know how old they are...

I always injure myself at the worst possible time

A while back I was starting a new job, but I didn't have to be there till about 2 so I went for a ride in the morning. You can guess whats coming next horsey did a cheeky spook and I went out the side door. I broke one of my fingers, snapped the tendon in another and completely messed up my shoulder. Not only was I a few hours late for my first day (due to a long wait in casualty), I was completely dosed up on pain meds and had no idea who I was or what I was doing Also I couldn't fill in any of the forms because it was my writing hand I injured Bloomin horses!

Glad to hear your ok
