No I know, I do appreciate that! So I presume I’ll have the physio and they will try to determine what it may be and then the MRI scans the areas they believe it make be to be sure?

Been seen by a consultant who has referred me for an MRI and physio. Waiting until next week for both. Appreciate you can’t tell but I’m too impatient so wanted to see how my symptoms compare to others!

I think that’s what’s confusing is me is the fact I can still walk (definitely wouldn’t pass a lameness test but I can hobble😂) and managed to ride the day after… just with pain when my leg moved a certain way. Would struggle to ride now purely because it’s so swollen that I can’t bend it...

That’s a good idea, unfortunately I ride for a living so definitely want to do as much as I can to sort it!

I came off the other day twisting my knee right under me upon a very solid landing. I’m waiting on an MRI, they believe I’ve damaged either my ACL or PCL. Has anyone torn and or sprained their ACL? What did it feel like? Obviously I can’t tell what has happened until it’s been scanned but I’d...

I work in racing and have done for the last 3 years. I started out not being able to hold one side of anything, finally got it sussed and then went abroad and felt like I had no clue how to ride a horse. But I eventually got used to it and am now back home and loving the job more than ever...

If you were happy riding her for a year I don’t think she’s the wrong horse. Clearly a change of behaviour has occurred which can (very annoyingly) be down to so many things. It may just be that shes fresh and feeling well, my horses think a leaf is a shark at the minute as they’re not able to...

I hunt and bloodhound (trail hunting) and honestly find blood hounding to be far more enjoyable… sorry, very controversial I know!! The best days out hunting when the hounds are flying are like nothing else but they’re so so infrequent. Blood hounding I know that with the large amount of money I...

Yep, if I’m honest I think that’s more my teaching. When I first got him he wouldn’t do it, he just allowed me to get on that side. But over time he now will specifically position himself!

Not really something I am concerned about as horse has been checked by vets and physios etc… more just a question about equine psychology! My horse, who is quite reactive and an anxious type, hates me getting on him from the correct side. If I’m legged up it’s fine as someone’s holding him and...

Any one got any tips for improving rider confidence? I’ve always been pretty brave when it comes to riding, would give anything a go, could fall off and not give a sh*t and would just think eh if it goes wrong ill deal with it in the moment. I’ve ridden racehorses in England every day for the...

Brilliant thank you!! Employer has said work must cover us in the work place which is great so will just be getting a normal package for the time we’re not in work!!

Travelling to Australia in Mid January to work in flat racing for 6 months. I’m currently looking into health insurance and am struggling to find anywhere that covers working in the industry over there for travellers due to it being classed as “an extreme sport”. Does anyone have any experience...

That’s exactly what I struggle with! I can keep them down to start with fine but as soon as they get keener and I get more tired I start to lift them! Thank you very much!

Yep! Think I would die if I didn’t ahha
