after getting launched twice on sunday i havent been able to go to work! Feeling very stiff and sore which is unusual as I normally bounce pretty well! Wouldnt mind but as I landed on a rubber and sand surface I dont even have a bruise to show for the acheyness! I almost feel as I deserve one!

Thats a bit crap - I always like to get some good bruises to show for my pain!!

glad your feeling better, what happened?

long very drawn out post written in comp riders when i was feeling particularly upset!

Basically after georges 1st round of sj we we warming up for our 2nd round when he had a VERY violent reaction on landing.....I'm not just talking a 'whoo hoo' type bronc but a huge buck/bronc/rear combo. brushed it off first time and same happened again. We think his bone spavin in his hocks may be playing up again so we have decided to retire him from jjumping to concentrate on dressage which is very sad as he does love his jumping so much

Oh yes I remember reading that now. You must be gutted.

He'll just have to have a new career as a super star dressage horse instead.
