I stopped him, but this was AFTER he crossed a 4 lane highway at a full gallop with me on him. I don't think I've ever been so afraid...

Wow-- I remember my first riding teacher talking about racing her horse with friends, stirrups shortened as far as they would go, and when they finished, without thinking, slapping her hands down... right on the horse's kidneys. Horse threw her several feet in the air. Ah, youth...

Did your friend keep riding after her leg healed?
