Ouch ouch ouch (blatent desire for sympathy post!!)

[Hovis_and_SidsMum]

I've gone to a new instructor to try to deepen my seat and open my hips etc to aid my awful balance and position.
The wicked witch made me do nearly an hour with no stirrups last night on the lunge and then no reins either. I HURT.
Then went to see my monster (he wouldn't tolerate that so I used one of her horses), bent down to pick something up, straightened up and was met with a flying horse ball. Full on on my cheek bone.
Bless him he obviously thought it was time to play but I wasn't watching.
Double ouch.
Today I am walking like John Wayne with a face like I've been to the dentist. Everyone (including husband) is sniggering.
I need some sympathy from someone!!!

Ohh I know how you feel as I had a lesson like that last Thursday. It was Monday before I could walk properly again!

 

[Hullabaloo]

Have lots of sympathy.
My friends welsh cob stood very hard on my foot on Monday (and yes I know I shouldn't have had canvas shoes on) and its very black and swollen. So while I hurt for a different reason (this time) I do understand!

I did lots of no stirrups work last night too to help my balance, i am walking like John Wayne aswell. Instructors are really mean!

PMSL, sorry!

Good shot!

 

[Hovis_and_SidsMum]

He's one heck of a shot and usually we can "play". He just needs to give his mum some notice!

Aww lots of hugs and sympathy. No pain no gain though... and sorry but the horse ball in the face did make me giggle.
