OMG I Cant Believe The Happend

[mcgregors-girl]

Well long story short today My horse decided to take off at full gallop and refused to stop!! he was heading straigh for a fence which he would have run through and seriously hurt himself! some how i managed to turn him and make him stop mut the thing is he slipped went down on his knees and rolled and i fell off. when he got back up he walked over me and stood on my ribs which are now broken. He also hurt his back leg and has to get 3 days box rest!
I cant believe this has happend he has never done that before! Anyway lots of pepole at my stables are saying that there horses are hyper at the moment. Could ths be due in change of the weather? Anyone else getting problems like these??

You know when he stood on you?
Is there any way he could of avoided you?
Sorry just a Q.

 

[Sol_Gemma]

oh my god that must have been horrible for you hope your ribs get better soon.

I have no idea about the weather though sorry

 

[*GroovyGallop*]

He BROKE your ribs!!! Ouch!!!

Sounds like you had a very eventfull day!

Get better soon! x

Wow that sounds awful painful.

Our horses seem to be a little bit hyper too this time of year, with the weather changes. Here in Canada it will feel like spring one day, and winter the next. It was up in the twenties, then went below zero.

It seems to be causing our horses to be more hyper as well.

I hope you feel better soon

Goodness me that sounds serious. I hope you were fully checked over at the hospital for any internal bleeding.

Herbie's Mum- i was in long grass so he didnt notice me to start with but after he stood on me he did

 

[Dina]

Sounds like an epidemic of broken bones and lameness is coming, A girl down the road from me broke her ancle and her horse has a hematoma (Cant spell :S ) from a downhill spooking accident.

I managed to break my rib a while back when coughing and that hurt like hell, can't imagine what you felt when your horse "stood on your ribs"..

Haven't heard of any mass behaviour changes, only the every now and again "spooked by the wind" incident. Hope you and your horse will feel better soon!

At my old riding school, the horses were really laid back in spring/summer out hacking, barely even making it into a canter but as soon as autumn/winter kicked in WHOOMPH!!! Bucking, taking off, napping and dancing around all over the place!
I think that was probably because they weren't ridden/turned out as much due to rain, wind, fog, snow etc - they only really hacked out in winter if the schools were flooding with rain!
But I know that wind doesn't go well with them - it changes all the normal scents etc so that causes them to spook, be naughty etc
Hope you and your horse feel better soon!!!
