Daughter (17) hunted today. Her dad takes her, he likes to follow the hunt. But today I got that dreaded phonecall at about 2pm saying she had had a nasty fall and could I drive out to meet them and help get the horse home and daughter to hospital! Eeek!
So met them in a country lane, where she was sitting in the car while OH was trying to untack etc. So in the end I took the horse and trailer and he took daughter to hospital.
Turns out they went to jump a fence out of a field but Manni took off about 3 strides away, clipped the top of the fence and went over and obviously she came off. Manni has a scrape above his eye, and a gauge down the front of one hoof, but seems fine apart from that.
Daughter has a sore arm and sore ribs - thank goodness she was wearing her body protector, I'm sure it saved her a worse battering. She has skinned her hip, thigh and arm, but on the whole is ok. No doubt she will be rather stiff tomorrow. As will Manni, so a gentle walk out in hand will be in order for him I think.
But aside from all that, she will be out again next week.
