Just got back from the hospital. OH has stayed with her while I come home and check her poor pony before catching a couple of hours and back up there. Kids went out for a quick hack round th block in the forest before tea. My daughters pony was walking on a lower section of the path when he spooked and tripped going up the bank back onto the track. He fell onto her and then trod on her trying to get up. We got there a couple of minutes later and guided the ambulance to her. They sent the Critical Care medics as she was complaining of back, neck and hip pain. They assesed her in one of the ambulances and took her to local trauma unit. When she was finally given some pain relief(her choice bloody teenagers being obstinate) they scanned her liver and pelvis and x rayed shoulder, neck, head . It looks like she may be ok, she has bruised her liver and damaged her shoulder which is now in a brace. She cant move her knee yet so she will be assesed further in the morning. I think she has probably got off rather lightly considering he is a big chunky 13.hh and she weighs in at 5 stone !!. pony appears to be ok but I would imagine he will be very stiff in the morning . What a night , there goes all the fun over the Easter holidays !! hope the morning brings good news
