Please please check how old your hat is!!
I had a nasty accident on Sunday, thankfully my horse was released from hospital yesterday, however I'm still laid up in bed with concussion. My hat was 3 to 4 years old and even though my leg took the main impact I have split my helmet in half.
I truely believe if my hat was older or I hadn't been hacking in my body protector my story today would be very different.
I have a fantastic horse, safe as houses, but we must remember they are flight animals, they have their own minds and feelings.
I lay here today, with concussion and awaiting an MRI on my knee, all thanks to 6 cyclists coming out of our bridlepath as we were 6-8ft from entering it.
Hug your horses, they are very precious, but please please check your safety gear. We've been extremely lucky, I know we have.
