Dislocated shoulder from one fairly nasty unceremonious dumping, several cracked ribs, fractured wrist and broken finger from another bad fall - well I went sailing off after a half hour spinning and broncing session and hit a post and rail fence hard. That was when my confidence was shattered and I gave up for 5 years lol!

Ive had a shattered navicular bone (top of the foot), i fell off rather dramatically and the stirrup shattered my foot.
I am now a firm believer in safety stirrups - i will not ride without them!

in no particular order...
cracked skull (in the dark ages where few wore hats, and those we had were velvet and not very protective)
twisted pelvis
twisted pelvis ...again..and a fracture apparently
broken finger
broken toe
not bad for 4 decades of riding, including some pretty fast and furious cross country stuff in my younger days - sadly the pelvis injuries have gone on to cause lifelong discomfort to the extent that some days I can't lift my leg to put on a sock, never mind get on a horse

I broke my wrist when my horse bolted and fell into a concealed ditch on top of me. He got a twisted gut though and had to have surgery so I was lucky...

I had a crushed spleen from TB that tripped and came over on top of me, had to have an emergency operation to take it out. I was lucky, i didn't go to hospital until the day after and they said if i was any later i wouldn't be here
But haven't really had anything else, just the usual knocks and brusies.

Broken arm - cantering down hill in a western saddle and the stirrup leather came away on one side. We had grounds to sue (tourist ranch - yet only checked saddles once a year).
Other than that just a few bruises and sprains.

Just ones from being one the ground:
Cracked ribs and top of hip chipped off, from leading a horse out to the field, he ran off and bucked with me on the end of his back feet.
One fat hip from where a horrid horse sunk his jaws around me whilst I was leaving the yard for a hack, and tried to drag me off my pony into his stable, am now left with a lump the size of a bar of soap.
Fractured nose from me and the pony clashing heads when we both look round in different directions!

Now let's see
concussion quite a few times as a kid, despite always wearing a hat.
broken foot when horse trod on it in my younger days.
few years ago I fell off onto a jump and broke ribs and cracked my pelvis.
fell off whilst trying a horse with a view to buy (not George) and broke my nose and broke and dislocated my finger.
got bucked off George at a show and he accidently trod on my leg - parts of it still numb now 5 mths later!
Still not too bad for 31 years riding (goes off to touch wood!!)

Three broken ribs
Various cricked necks, bruised bottom etc!
Virtually severing my left arm. It was hanging on by a bit of skin just at my elbow. I still have no feeling from the scar down to finger tips on that arm, whilst the scar site itself is incredibly painful. Got a doozer of a scar though! It;s the kind of scar that makes other people wince!!!

I have been very lucky, I think.
Knocked unconsious (sp)
Falled on, and right knee still gives my problems
Normal cuts, brusies and sprains.
A lovely lady on our yard had an accident and is now paralyzed, so I count myself very lucky to have so few injuries.

Blimey does make you wonder why we do it doesn't it?
I broke the ball joint of my left shoulder when I was 11 after falling off a bolting horse that decided to jump an oil drum. I landed on my elbow.
Seriously squished foot after being stood on twice in ten minutes (don't ask
)
Nasty thumb injury after Ellie spooked and knocked me over and then promptly fell over the top of me
Concussion after being dumped on the wall by bolting horse in an arena

Lots of being trodden on and bitten when a child, by the time I was a teenager I learned to move quicker!
Broken ankle, broken toe in a fall.
Concussion three times (horse fell each time)
Broke three bones in my hand and thumb, now have arthritis in that joint.
Lots of falls where I was severely bruised and X rayed but ended up just bruised..
Broke ankle (different one) out hunting and boyfriend the huntsman refused to wait whilst I took my horse home, so I carried on resulting in it swelling inside my boot and having to have them cut off..(boots then cost a fortune and I cried)
I can't really remember to be honest, but nowadays I don't do daft things on horses and tend to think more when I handle them..If I think I might get hurt now I let go..
