A big thank you to the ambulance service

[muffinmunsh]

I would like to say a big, big thank you to the ambulance service and two ramblers for going out of their way to help us yesterday.
We were out riding in a big field when my gelding threw a big wobbly and chucked off his sharer. She was hurt and couldn't get up. Neither of us had a phone (stupid and won't happen again). Two ramblers came to the rescue, organised the ambulance and found an open gate etc... They were fab!
She was taken care of fantastically and loaded into the ambulance.
I Was then faced with taken the two neds back (the naughty one and my youngster) not an easy prospect in a built up area with fast roads. And then one of the paramedics said he used to ride and could help me take them back if I'd take him back to his car after! I thought I hadn't heard properly at first but all three paramedics agreed they couldn't let me go on my own and with no phone and no one to call it seemed the safest option. So, he was kitted out with a hat and cloves, jumped on the horse (the naughty one) and rode him home! How fab is that? The man is my hero!

Before I forget ... The sharer is okay, badly bruised but all bones intact!

Sounds like a brave man they do a fab job. Hope naughty pone behaved for the paramedic! Hopefully your sharer will have a quick recovery and be back in the saddle soon .

Hope you and your sharer send a big thank you to the paramedics and let their boss know how good they were!

 

[muffinmunsh]

Oh yes! We definitely will!

Great story. Please inform the bosses how great they were as I dont think are emergency services get much praise. Maybe miss out the bit with him riding the horse. Don't want him to get a *******ing

[muddygreymare]

Glad everyone was ok, sounds like a very brave ambulance man too!

 

[Ella19]

what luck to have a horse riding paramedic! I have to say the man that attended my 999 call was fab too. He even was thoughtful enough to put down towling so blood didn't go all over YM car!

 

[muffinmunsh]

We are Essex / Hertfordshire border, near m25. He was such a great guy and I'll make sure everybody knows how helpful they were... No chance keeping his riding secret though as his colleagues on the ambulance were taking pictures on their phones
No doubt that he won't hear the last of it

 

[MrsMozart]

Flipping heck! What a star . All stars by the sounds of it.

Glad you're friend is relatively okay.

Hope your friends well.
