Re: My horse fell ON me - update & thanks

[Porkie]

Thanks to all who sent wishes and hugs in my previous post about my horse falling on me !

Just a quick update to let you know my neddy, unbelievably but thankfully, is totally fine hasn't got a scratch on him and is completely sound! At 26 I thought he'd at least suffer some stiffness the next day but spoke to YO last night and she said he went out like a rocket when turned out yesterday morning, no stiffness and appears non the worse for his fall!

I on the other hand spent 4 hours at the hospital yesterday having my knee poked, prodded and pulled in all directions and have pulled all the ligaments!

Bit painful and think I will be hobbling for a while but never mind - I'm just so relieved he is ok and thankful it wasn't a lot worse for both of us!

It was an experience I don't want to repeat in a hurry !!

That's great (that your horse wasn't hurt) It's a good age - We have an old pony reaching the age of 28! Not as long life expectancy due to lami. and cushings! Have you got a picture of him??? Hope you get better soon!!!

Glad he's ok, and so glad you got the knee looked at. I can totally appreciate how painful that is! Take it easy and don't push yourself too much on that knee, I started riding again 6 weeks after I damaged my knee (Physio told me to wait three months

) and ended up doing more damage
