Went for a hack last night, I was riding a pony im looking after while owner on hols and my friend who part loans Baron from me was riding him. Went to some fields and had a good gallop, decided to go again. This time on the way back they decided to have a little race and got a little excited. All fine except Molly (Pony I was on) got along side Baron who was initially infront. Baron got excited, bucked and kicked out, full force into my knee. I fell off and got trampled by Molly. Ive never felt pain like it in my life. Could not move at all for ages (just under an hour). Luckily had my phone on me (and my fags
)so rang someone from the yard. Took them over an hour to find us. Jenny (mate riding my horse) said she had never heard me scream so loud.
They tried to help me up but as soon as I was up the pain was so bad I had to lie back down. I was hoping they could carry me to the car.
Anyway had to call ambulance, Jen came with me while 2 friends rode horses back and finished them off. Went to A&E had x-rays and luckily nothing broken. Just severe bruising. I cannot straighten or bend leg so friend had to take my jodhpurs off
Pain is still really bad today although im on strong painkillers. Hardly got any sleep last night as kept waking up in pain. Im on crutches and have to go back in a week. Foot had gone a lovely shade of purple aswell.
So I think thats the last time I ride mental ponies on a hack
Its the first time ive ever really hurt myself falling off, well besides once when I was about 12, and certainly the first time ive been taken to hospital.
Luckily no comps this weekend, but please send healing vibes so I can get back on board soon.
Here is the knee, which is much more swollen today
He kicked it where the graze is, im very lucky he missed the knee cap.
