No broken bones, but it was definitely the worst fall I've had in my 20+ years of riding.<br /><br />I'm working on the mental rehab while my body mends...part of me can't wait to work with my horse again to see if this was a fluke...and the other part is terrified that I just taught my young boy a very dangerous new trick.Becki Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10468405347117493608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4524393652028387960.post-60609315259168185392011-03-21T10:05:43.704-07:002011-03-21T10:05:43.704-07:00I just read this post on mugwump and can really co...I just read this post on mugwump and can really connect. My gelding, Socks, has brought out some fear issues in me that I am really struggling to deal with. I'd love to know how you two are doig now!D'Naehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03171220763451993679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4524393652028387960.post-56524269686700632172011-03-08T08:39:28.381-08:002011-03-08T08:39:28.381-08:00I was thrown off my sprited 14 yo arab mare 2 days...I was thrown off my sprited 14 yo arab mare 2 days ago and was lucky, no injuries, a bad bruise on my back. But this is the 2nd time in 4 months, and it comes with no warning, and we were on mile 16 when it happened. You would think the bad spooks would be gone after 16 miles. Anyway, I do not have fear, but I do have a concern about how many times do I get before I really get hurt? I am 50 with 4 kids and a job. Can I afford a major injury? Or should I make the hard decision that this horse is just too right brained all the time, and I need to find one more calm? I rode my foxtrotter mare for 6 years, including LD races, and NEVER came off. You have a responsibility to yourself, your safety, and your family...to get back on a horse that bucks, I don't know. Just presenting the other side of the coin I guess...Mickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14369796996514454930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4524393652028387960.post-62328122780552140072011-01-31T18:10:37.129-08:002011-01-31T18:10:37.129-08:00Reading about others figuring out how to get over ...Reading about others figuring out how to get over their fear after an accident is very encouraging. I'm always worried that my accident last year is going to keep me from riding the way I used to, without fear riding passenger behind me. While I have no idea where to find bomb-proofing clinics near me here my barn is working with me to create our own version. I'm glad to be reminded its very possible.Caitlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05459999598962107210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4524393652028387960.post-30343503575568277822011-01-31T15:22:46.239-08:002011-01-31T15:22:46.239-08:00It's so awesome that you were able to overcome...It's so awesome that you were able to overcome your fears like this. That is something to be truly proud of.<br /><br />I had a bad accident in high school in which an OTTB fell with me at a gallop. I broke my collar bone on impact and he stepped on my face when he tried to get his feet under him, shattering my jaw. I must be out of my freaking mind because I was arguing with the medics to let me get back on for a quick walk around, and was sneaking out of the house to ride hot horses before my mom was ready to see me back in the saddle.Domhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139769676714813261noreply@blogger.com
