Ouch! The pony fell on me.

[dafthoss]

The yellow pony fell on me this morning when we were out hacking. I dont quite know how it happened but he was looking at the parked lorry that we were walking past and then he seemed to either stop concentrating and go down or he went to spook properly but got it wrong and went down. My knee seems to have taken the most of it and is currently under a bag of sweetcorn, getting fat, as we have no ice pack and the pony seems to have got away relativly unscathed. Thankfully he had his xc boots on so his legs were protcted and the vets due to give him his vaccinations tomorrow so I'll get him looked at then.

Sorry pointless post but my knee, elbow and hip hurts giant buttons on offer if you got this far

Ouch - poor you - i suppose it could have been worse , at least your boy isn't hurt , not that i'm being tight but at least the NHS is free whereas your vet needs paying! Hope you feel better soon - arnica gel is good for the bruises , along with a big bar of choccy for the pain!

Youchy!!

Hope its nothing too serious. Glad pony is ok too!

Good work on giving the pony a soft landing, very dedicated of you

Ibuprofen might not be a bad idea, to help reduce any inflammation, and keep it propped up and well iced up

This Only the speshul one could fall over because he was too busy looking at a parked lorry Bless his little cotton socks...

Hope the knee's not too badly damaged!

 

[dafthoss]

HA yes I did give him a soft landing unfortunatly for me the road wasnt as soft but at least I'm free to fix and hes not (I have rung the vets and they are going to check him over when they are out tomorrow even though he didnt even get a graze just a dirty shoulder). Thanks for all the virtual chocolate

JFTD - you still want him? I'll swap for any of yours if you want?

 

[Sprout]

Ouchies - glad your pony was ok, but you sound pretty sore, hope the damage is not too bad!

 

[Inchy]

Anti inflammatories, ice, keep your knee elevated and keep it gently bending/ straightening to keep any swelling moving.

Ouch poor you! My mare has been over on me twice so I know the feeling - you're going to ache for a few days!!

 

[Booboos]

Eeek! Poor you! I know exactly how you feel! Rusky slipped and fell sideways on a road years ago! He was fine but i had a painful ankle, knee, hip and knocked myself out!

Loads of hot baths and rest for you!

Well I've just offered JT J and D, so it would have to be Fergles I'm not sure he'd be an improvement on Speshul, tbh - his jumping would be a disappointment for sure

She can have D if she wants. She likes dun ponies and it would be more of a straight swap a dun for a dun.

Aww poor D, nobody wants him Probably why he keeps trying to run away

I do want him. Just thought dh might prefer to have him. I'd take any of yours if you were to meet an untimely end or just decided to get rid. Or all of them in fact, they're loverly

 

[JFTDWS]

Now there's a statement I just don't know how to respond to

For heavens sake don't tell them that or they'll be trying to bump me off so they can get a nicer home

 

[dafthoss]

Thanks for the well wishes every one I have managed to persuade the mothership that I dont need a doctor

JFTD - I'll have any of them there great little chaps. Fergs definatly has a better attitude than speshul and I like fergs so dont go making him feel unloved. JT can have J as she loves him and I could pretend I'm an amazing rider by having a rearing pony when we go out cos having a naughty pony makes you brilliant right?
Poor D has heard that his fantasy boyfriend has moved away so is coming to find his true love. I would have him though then I could have a collection of dun ponies and he would never run away as he is to obsessed by the spesh one .

He is obviously dangerous, send him to me!
