So since September I have had the following....horse 1, ddft damage, nav damage, abscess, another abcess, random 4 leg swelling systemic reaction thing, hoof bruise..... Horse 2, abscess, chest hematoma.....me broken collar bone.....

All I want to do is ride and compete my horse! Ggggaaaahhhhhhh

Cheer me up by telling me how I'm very lucky and it could be super worse and that all my bad luck is coming at once and I am due a lot of good luck!
:-)
 
You are due quite a lot of good luck by the sounds of things. Seems a lot of abscesses are going on which is very unlucky. Did you break your collar bone falling off or was it non horsey related? Poor you. Chin up thing will get better!
 
Try having a little person... Horse sound but no chance to ride? The frustration of all the work and none of the fun... On a serious note, good luck with getting them both sound. Mine probably is because he has the easiest life of luxury, food, clean stable and no exercise? xx
 
eeekkk mention of little person brings me out in a rash! LOL :-), and I can imagine that although lovely, the little person also makes your hobby as equally frustrating as having 2 sicknote ponies!

Thanks all, I know it could be much worse and prognosis for both is good and I am nearly mended too.

Re collar bone, it was very much horse related. I was struggling to rehab horse 1 and start horse 2 (new 5 year old, intended as a project while horse 1 rehabs) and as work is annoying and gets in the way of everything I ride both at a local school with flood lights. The 5 year old has been angelic and I made the classic mistake of taking him for granted. He was fresh, I was complacent and he nailed me to the floor.....bless him, (he is a saint 99% of the time but i pushed my luck!). Luckily for the first time all winter I had my lovely Mum with me else I would have been stuck with wild 5 year old, horse box and a broken bone all by myself. However I was back on board after 10 days and now 2 months later its feeling stiff and sore but ok...again could have been much worse!

Ok I have stopped feeling sorry for myself, bring on the summer!
