As the title says, long time lurker saying hello
smile.gif


I've had an impromtu start to my Christmas holidays due to doing a very lady like, delicate tumble (so I was told) from my 17hh mare yesterday. Delicate or not, it bloomin hurts

I think my pride was hurt more when Molly just stood there looking at me as if to say 'what are you doing on the floor!'

So I thought I'd bite the bullet and say hello whilst lounging on the sofa.

As you've guessed, I've got a 17hh coloured ID x TB Mare called Molly. She is normally very calm but had a pratting around day yesterday. I've sat out bucks, rears (not my horse) and yet Molly prances around not listening, drops her shoulder and I come a tumbling off

Saddle fitter coming later today to check her saddle, instructor coming to watch me lunge her and friend riding her for the next couple of weeks as I'm on box rest with awesome painkillers.

The silver lining - hubby has insisted on doing all of the housework, cooking Christmas dinner, doing the heavy jobs of looking after Molly

Hello and welcome, sounds painful! A friends horse used to do the drop the shoulder thing and it always caught me out!
 
You seem to have Christmas all sewn up!! Welcome to the forum, be warned it is very addictive, as I am sure you have realised by now! Hope you arent in too much pain, plenty of brandy will help!
 
Welcome aboard! What a good scam, fall off horse get let off all Christmas duties, I would try it but I don't like pain!

It does hurt but the painkillers are great. Although I am very grateful that Molly changed her mind when contemplating jumping the manege fence - eek.

Thanks for the welcome.
 
A big thank you to everyone for the welcome.

Hubby is very well trained

but most of it is guilt at laughing when I phoned him to tell him.
 
Think I'll away and through myself off the side of mine tonight so I can get OH to actually remove arse from couch and hand from beer bottle!
