What caused the bruise?

[Annagain]

Today I am sporting a small but none the less obvious, horse related bruise to my lower lip / chin along with a nice cut on the inside of said lip. Would anybody care to hazard a guess how it got there? Special prize for the first to guess correctly.

You were doing up your girth, hand slipped and you punched yourself in the face.

Been there, done that.

Nope, far too simple

 

[AandK]

Branch in the face out hacking?

 

[rabatsa]

Horse and you collided when one head went up and the other down?

 

[HeyMich]

The clip on the end of a lead rope hit you in the face during some particularly mundane process? I've done that before and it hurts!

 

[PapaverFollis]

Horse hit you in the face throwing his empty feed bucket over the door.

Kneed in the face while putting boots on the horse? Not that I do anything as non-BHS as crouch down in front of the horse, oh no, not me <innocent>.

I thought that too but didn't want to admit to my unsafe practices.

Ok, so you saw a medium sized furry lump curled up in your horse’s bed, and when you bent down to investigate, a badger jumped up and head butted you.

 

[Annagain]

All wrong!

 

[PapaverFollis]

You hit yourself in the face with a broom handle while sweeping. (Been there)

 

[Polos Mum]

I was sporting a lovely black eye where my little darlings dragged me and I effectively headbutted the top of a fencepost (not to be recommended!)

Some sort of being smacked into a fence related injury?

 

[scruffyponies]

Whipping a rug off in a hurry and taking the off side clip right in the face.

Been there. Knee to the nose, 2 lovely black eyes for a couple of weeks.

Pulling a very large and tough rooted old ragwort. Roots suddenly release flinging you on your rear end whilst wacking yourself in the face with your hand still clutching the football sized root ball...,..did that once because I simply couldn't be bothered to walk 200 yards back to get the ragwort fork.?

 

[Annagain]

Still no right answer. I'll give you a bit of a clue and say it was riding related.

Horse flung a shoe off mid jump and it hit you in the face?

 

[smolmaus]

Sparrow to the face a la Fabian on the rollercoaster?

 

[Annagain]

Still no.

 

[PurBee]

Horse stumbled causing you to drop forward, horse corrects quickly and your lip meets horse neck?

OR

Youre bending down to unlatch a gate and horse decides to turn head and give you an enthusiastic kiss?!
?

 

[Regandal]

Horse threw it’s head back and whacked you? Had that one too.

 

[PapaverFollis]

You chinned your saddle dismounting.

 

[Lady Jane]

You hit yourself in the face changing sides of your whip?

 

[Annagain]

You chinned your saddle dismounting.

Warm

 

[AShetlandBitMeOnce]

Stirrup flipped up when you were dismounting, or being ejected and hit you in the face?
(definitely hasn't happened to me )

nope

 

[AShetlandBitMeOnce]

You chinned the horse dismounting?

 

[Annagain]

It was caused by something that was meant to make me safer.

 

[AShetlandBitMeOnce]

Ooooh you blew up your air jacket, or smashed yourself in the face with the toggle?
