Thanks for sharing your experience, I really hope that isn't it. I don't much fancy not being able to sit down for two weeks! Will try and get into the doctors tomorrow to see what they think.

I understand how you feel but your heart was in the right place. I went on a lovely pleasure ride last year with anya01 on here. She really encouraged me to have a go at the jumps despite the fact that I was adamant I didn't want to and we ended up having a fantastic time and jumping loads of...

Thanks, I did go to hospital at the time but they just x-rayed, told me I hadn't broken my hip and sent me home with strong painkillers. All last week i just assumed the pins and needles were a side effect of the pain killers but I haven't taken any since Friday and it still feels really odd.

I'm sorry but I wouldn't be jumping a three year old if I wanted them to still be sound and happy in their teens. I'd say cut back on the work with Charlie and stick with Daisy for the time being if you want to be competing.

I still have only partial sensation in my left leg after my fall last week. I can walk fine but I've got a tingling sensation from my mid thigh up through my hip and into my lower back. Feels like I've been sat cross legged on the floor for too long and I've got mild pins and needles. Has...

Thats great news. I'm sure it'll be wonderful for you to be back in the saddle again.

Lil was in today and much happier for it but then it does depend on your stable and your horse.

Thats lovely. It really is the little things that show your bond isn't it?

Poor little man, having had a native I do understand how the weight sneaks up on you when you think you've got it under control so you do have my sympathies. I'm sure he''ll appreciate Bute and a nice deep bed to lie on while he recovers.

Lets just say that my theory was that if it doesn't hurt any more after riding then there's no reason not to!

RIP, he'll be standing in the shade under the tree over the Rainbow Bridge

A big thanks to everyone who was so lovely when I had my accident last weekend. Decided to get back on today and spent a gentle 20 mins ambling round the school. Lil was almost perfect and it was just lovely to be in the saddle again. There'll be no stopping us now, hoping to be back in full...

Thats not good, sounds like its going to appear in other areas as well if its already in two places that far apart.

Getting back on the beast tomorrow for the first time since my fall last weekend. Really hoping we just have a nice quiet amble and she doesn't even think of throwing a tantrum. Wish me luck!

We are in the East Midlands but I don't know where the case was confirmed, vet just said UK.
