BRIDGMOHAN: Out Indefinitely

I hope that he has the fastest of recoveries. Injuries like these are not fun.

The big grey thing you see me jumping in my avatar reared up, fell over sideways, and rolled over me once. I'm lucky I didn't die.

I still have nerve damage from the injury and am about 80% in my left leg and 90% in my right. Both of my hips weren't attached to my body (they hadn't moved out of place though so I didn't have to have surgery), my tail bone was broke down the middle, I broke two ribs on either side, broke my left shoulder, punctured lungs, and had severe nerve damage. My sciatic nerve was severed.

That horse has took me to both hell and heaven on Earth though. I still love him. I was back on him three months after my injury, but it took about six months before I could ride without any pain, and about a year to where I could post without stirrups again.

Sounds awful...

I've been lucky... had two bad falls (one where my grey rolled on me and broke my tailbone OUCH) and one where I fell onto a jump. Besides my back problems, I have never had serious injuries. Horses are very dangerous. Worth it to me, but still dangerous.

I remember my first fall the most...it took forever to hit the ground. My pony bolted and every few strides I lost a stirrup and rein. I seriously just wanted to get it over with, but couldn't imagine employing the skills you are taught in learning to fall, so instead I landed on my neck. 12 hands may not be very big, but when you're meeting the ground it seems a very long trip!

Crickey, being trampled in a paddock was bad, but nothing like this. Pretty horse by the way.

[kentuckyrosesinmay]

Thanks. Now, I have never been trampled...I bet that was scary.

Am I the only one looking forward to her post that details her accident worse than a broken collerbone, broken wrist, two broken ribs AND a punctured lung?

And I see you didn't disappoint.

Quite impressive. Not sure why you wouldn't still love your horse. It wasn't his fault.
