And it bl**dy HURTS :(

We had had such a good hour, little jumping, swim in the river, and lateral work :), and then a second's lapse in concentration......

Really extra upsetting as I'll now find it hard to trot the ponies round the school at RDA, as well as everything else horsey I have to do.

Urgh...
 
Ow!! bet that made your eyes water. Complicated things knees...painkillers, elevation and ice, and arnica cream/pills if you've got some. Hope you feel better soon.
 
I know how you feel. I was trying to load my stubborn mare this morning wearing my flimsy rubber wellies. She hauled me down the ramp and I smashed my big toe on a boulder. It's purple now and I think it might be broken! Great since I'm accompanying a nursery trip of 20 kids to the "build a bear workshop" tomorrow :(
 
thanks guys !

I was lucky that hubs was down the yard fixing up our trailer - he heard the scream, bless him. Poor Shy was really concerned, and didn't know which way to go. And after being such a fab boy too.

Frozen peas are on, arnica downed, not much more we can do, eh :rolleyes:
 
You have my sympathy. A couple of years ago a friend and I went out for a hack and had to negotiate a number of gates. Went through the first couple with no problems then got a spring loaded one and as horse had been smacked on the arse by one previously she shot through and smacked my knee off the metal keeper :eek: :eek: My knee stung then went numb so being me we carried on with our hack :rolleyes: By the time we got back to the yard the bruising was starting to come out and after a couple of days it looked like I had been kneecapped by a baseball bat :eek: :p

Hope you heal quickly and are ok in a day or two
 
Ouch!! I slammed my shin into a fixed wooden gate post but luckily it gave way last minute, still have the dent left though!!

Milk it as much as possible - and plenty of arnica!
 
I know how you feel, I hit another horse at speed a couple of weeks ago and managed to dislocate the patella; the pain was indescribable. My sympathy goes out to you. Hope you heal quickly!
