Update.

Hi, today my neck's really stiff and a bit painful to move, even when I eat and yawn, it's painful, my head hasn't been throbbing too badly but I've had a few minor headaches today. Going to reschedule my driving lesson from Tuesday because of my neck, I've bruised my right arm on my shoulder and wrist as well. I'm also taking a week or two off from riding as the YO will be away and because I really want to have a good think about things, the last thing I want is to be scared of riding horses. Thanks so much for the hugs and words of support and advice, they mean a lot to me

Pixxie - I'd love to

Lol! Bit of a road trip for myself and OH eh?

Shall post pics from yesterday in a minute, none of the fall though, OH did catch a few seconds on video but most of it is of the surface of the school but you can hear me scream when I get flung off

I missed your thread yesterday (just read it), but if you haven't been, go to A&E! Your symptoms sound like you have a concussion, and you should probably get your neck X-rayed too. They'll rush you through, I'm sure.

Sounds like a nasty experience, and may take a while to get over, but take your time, and it'll come!

(((vibes))) for you.

aww bless you screaming is not good, my only fall so far off ted was a tactical dismount

infront of BSJAlove and we were both laughing our heads off no screaming allowed

make the road trip

will be worth it

Spookypony - We're going to call out the doctor in the morning and see what he recommends - thanks for the vibes hun!

Pixxie - Lol "tactical dismount"

It wasn't my worst fall though, but it's my second worst fall since I've been riding

My worst fall ever, I was on a horse who spooked at a tractor working in the field behind the school, who in turn spooked the other three horses I was riding with. They all calmed down and stopped but my horse flew round the school heading straight for the wall (we were in the indoor school) and no amount of pulling etc was turning her, at the last minute she threw a massive buck and I hit the wall and slid down it, knocked out as she circled round I started to get up but she was going flat out and managed to trample me twice! I was so battered!! Ended up going to hospital in an ambulance but I did walk away with a few scratches so I was very lucky!

it was a tactical dismount lol, i wasnt concentrating or sitting in the saddle properly, he spooked i ended up sitting on the side of him hanging on to his mouth and thought hmm, cling on and hope or bail out....i opted for the latter

:O blimey you do have some nasty ones, i think we should wrap you in bubble wrap next time you ride

xx

Lol! Well it does sound tactical, I'll give you that

. Yes, bubble wrap would be fantastic but I think the squeaking and popping would scare the horses

 

[Pixxie]

hehe was amusing. hmmm well your issue with bubble wrap is certainly a vaild one.......cotton wool???? i heard thats pretty silent

[Pixxie]

[PinkFairy]

No, the bay was sold last week

This was a new one who I actually thought was pretty gorgeous! He still is, despite him throwing me off!

 

[Pixxie]

blimey, youre not having good luck hun...all the ones you find get sold

 

[PinkFairy]

Yeah I know LOL. I really loved the coloured though, his new owner is one lucky person!
