Hi everyone, just looking for some advice and general reassurance
been saving for my first horse for ages, found my dream horse about a month ago now he’s a stunning 16.2 ISH and I’m in love. Fast forward to 6 days post bringing him to new yard, we are in a lesson and I end up falling in a complete freak accident (he did absolutely 0 wrong) I lost my balance and stirrup, came off - end up dislocating my shoulder, fractured arm, broken femur, brain bleed and nerve damage through my right arm.
femur has been fixed by op and nerve damage getting better, but in a sling for 6 weeks and not sure when I’ll be off crutches.. been told 6 months before I can ride!!
how would you cope?
I feel heartbroken, my dream heart horse I’ve had a week is now being ridden by others and looked after by others and my family won’t take me to yard to even see him as they are being over-protective and think I’m “not ready” I’m losing my mind. He’s my first horse (I’ve loaned before) but never had “that bond” and wanted to grow this with him and now he’s going to be with people I’m paying to ride him. I don’t know what I should/shouldn’t be doing and family are being really critical and horrible now and I’m finding it hard to cope.
what should I do?
