Wallow with me

[Sprogladite01]

Having a pity party after my youngster chucked me off again today in the school. We'd been on such a good run recently and it was all abruptly ended by a very sudden, and very hard downpour. She took exception to the excessively hard rain, took off, bucked a few times. I managed to sit a decent amount but popped her on a circle (as she wasn't showing any signs of slowing down) and then she lost her balance and freaked herself out, exploded again, and I lost a stirrup after one buck too many and then was launched
Now feeling very sore and very sorry for myself, with the odd "I am too old for this" thought creeping in now and again (I'm definitely not, I'm 36, but I feel like I'm 100 atm). Why is it that every time I fall off, I land on exactly the same spot on my lower back that takes WEEKS to heal? Waaahhh

Aww that’s pants

Oh poo. Hope you're feeling better soon.

Oh poo. Hope you're feeling better soon.

Thank you. Waiting for painkillers to kick in! Lol.

To be fair to her she was very apologetic afterwards

I can recommend wearing an air jacket.

Yep. Mine daved my bacon just 2 weeks ago. Dave tripped in canter, we both went down. I didn't even have a bruise to show off.

I'm going to leave the typo as it made me laugh. Daved my bacon. *SAVED

Just to say I'm laughing at the typo, not your fall. Love the fact you're Dave's Mam, makes it all rhe funnier!

Sorry to hear. That's so frustrating!

I wear a body protector religiously (race safe) but don't think it does an awful lot for my lower back tbh. Are there any particular pros vs cons in the back protector vs air jacket argument?

Hope you’re better soon. Don’t worry, just a blip!

I sure hope so lol. I got on for a few mins at lunchtime today after she'd been lunged and we had a little stroll. Just in walk because my back is terrible but pleased I got back in the saddle
