I’ve not been on here for a very long time but I could do with some advice.
Just over two weeks ago I had a bit of a freak riding accident and came off my horse resulting in a very severe break to my leg.
I am now at home looking at a very long recovery period. At least 6 months .
I’m in my late 50s but otherwise very fit and healthy. Organising my life now I am not mobile has been a night mare to say the least.
So some questions .
Have you been in my situation?
How long was your recovery period?
Did you go back to riding?
If you went back to riding how long did it take before you felt strong enough to ride again? (Thinking my leg will be very weak afterwards.)
What did you do about your horse/horse during this time?
My horse has gone to my trainer on livery for a while but this is not a long term solution. I keep my horse at home and i am not going to be able to look after him, or even know if I will go back to riding. He is young and needs to continue with his education.
My head is in whirl.
Any advise greatly received!
