BRIDGMOHAN: Out Indefinitely

I hope he recovers quickly. I only have watched him a couple of times but he seems to have immense talent. We have some really nice young jocks out there.

the best thing going for him is his age. Can you imagine say Earlie Fires trying to recoup from these injuries?

Can't wait till Earlie makes his yearly one day appearance at Gulfstream, wins two every time

Talmo is a 16yr old apprentice riding at the FG. Watch out.

didn't somebody say this kid shouldn't be allowed to ride on the turf? i swear i read somebody post that. said the kid was a danger out there. needed to stay on the dirt until he learned a thing or two.

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

Worse??????

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.

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.
