Ever had one of those weekends when you're glad to be back at work?!!
Thursday night hubby had a jumping lesson and fell off. Assumed he'd just banged his arm, got back on and rode for another 10 minutes. Drove home, had tea etc and about 9pm realised his elbow was twice the size of the other one and turning a lovely colour. Cue trip to A&E to discover he's broken his arm right near the elbow joint. Due to it being a clean break they've not cast it (?) but he's in a sling etc and can't use his right arm. He's right handed. Thus i am now an unpaid slave in my own house!
Saturday I spent concreting with YMs other half as hubby was supposed to help him and now couldn't. I barrowed over 25 loads of concrete and couldn't move by the end of the day!
Sunday morning the foal at the yard escaped into an ajoining field and we all spent ages trying to catch the little darling and sort a new battery for the electric fence.
Yesterday after everyone had been joking that I'd better not fall off with hubby out of action, Hovis tripped coming across some rough ground and I nearly sailed over his head. Luckily although he went down on one knee and I slithered over his ears he pushed his neck up and I scrambled back into the saddle.
I've had to get up at 5am to go and sort the horses + walk the dog + make pack ups and get hubby to work on time
I've come to work this morning for a rest!
How was everyone elses weekend?!!
