On monday i was riding my sister in laws 16hh horse in a gymkhana at my yard and we somehow ended up jumping the gate but anyway he tripped after he landed and he fell and i flew over his head he is fine btw and i got back on did another class ( 2 phase) i also schooled him a bit on each rein etc and i've not lost any confidence!

Although when i fell i landed head first and my hat hit onto my head and has left a bump there (we're taking my hat to get checked before i ride in it again). I have bitten through my top lip and grazed all my face but i have also damaged the left side of my neck my left shoulder and my arm by the muscle. i have also damged around from the middle of my back down to the bottom of it.
I'm not riding for a week at minimum because I'm in far too much pain at the mo and it would be reckless of me!
I would appriciate if you have any tips on how to recover, what to do, anything that will help basically

Thank you in advance xx
 
Don't bother getting the hat checked. For the company to check it they cut it open, rendering it useless anyway.

I'm amazed you got back on after a fall like that and getting those injuries. I've done less that that in falls before and been ordered to A&E!

Doctors
New hat
Rest

Hope you're feeling better soon!
 
I find the only way to recover from this sort of fall involves milking it for at least 24-48 hrs.....bubble baths and room service including pizza and ice cream is a good start. ;)

Speedy recovery.
