My lovely gelding kicked me yesterday!
I was lunging him over jump and he was doing brilliantly as usual, i asked him to change the rein and as he was excited and often does put in a playful buck.
Unfortunately this time i was in the way!

He it a tb x 16hh with shoes on!

He got me on the side of my thigh.

Ive broken my collar bone and knee cap in the past, but just dont know about my leg.

Its very painful, i kept waking last night, i can just about manage to limp on it but cant fully bend it.
You should have seen me trying to drive home last night, i hag to use my hand to lift my leg on and off the clutch!
 
As someone who is in a cast because she came off and whacked her ankle on a fence rail (!) I would say get yourself down to A + E and get checked out. Could have major bruising or worse case scenario it could be broken and you cannot take chances


<<<healing vibes>>> and hope its just bruising.


Let us know how you get on though won't you?
 
Hopefully it will just be bruising but you should get it checked out at A&E just in case. When my horse kicked me in the thigh a few years ago my leg was black from the knee to the top of the thigh and very swollen, but diagnosis was just bruising. If Dr confirms its just bruising, take arnica, get your leg up and apply ice (a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a towel is good).
It took a good 2-3 weeks for my leg to recover (probably because I didn't take any time off and carried on as normal!), hope you are luckier.
