My Horse Riding Accident

[Nahla]

Hey guys,as you might know I went horse camping.

I am now back,and I bring a bruised knee,sprained ankle,cut up leg and a lump on the head.

Heres what happened.

I was riding my horse (for the camp)  Hobby along the trail,we were on a hill but everything was going fine,till suddenly a  rabbit dashed across the path scaring Hobby. who reared up. I fell but my foot got caught in the stirrup. Hobby bolted dragging me with her down the hill. When my foot finally slipped I had been drug for about 4 minutes. I was unconscious for a few minutes and when I woke up,it hurt it really hurt. Luckily I was wearing a helmet or it would of been a lot worst.Hobby could of easily of trampled me to death as well. But you know the saying "You gotta fall off 7 times before you can really call yourself a rider". This would be fall number 2...5 more to go.

[Mumbling]

Ouch! Glad to hear you're relatively ok! No fractures or the like, phew.

Hope everything heals up soon I would personally be terrified of horses after such an experience... Wait, I am : Hopefully you can just get along with Hobby afterwards just fine

[somerandomfangirl]

Oh my goodness, Talesse! That sounds really, really bad! I was actually thinking of taking up horse riding again, but you've just put me off.

Being dragged across the ground for around 4 minutes sounds really painful. I haven't experienced it myself, nor would I want to. I hope your recovery goes quickly and smoothly and that you're not too bad now. *hug*

Make sure Zimmy looks after you in the meantime.

Oh wow. Sounds like you could have broken a leg too. I'm glad you're okay, and that you aren't put off horse-riding! Did you get your head checked out, just to make sure you didn't get any serious damage?

[Ducky123]

Oh my...! I already suspected the worst when I read the title but luckily you're not too seriously hurt *whew*

[StrutEggStealer]

Oh ouch! Something like that happened to my sister, but it wasn't as serious as yours. I hope you're doing okay, Nahla. Get some well-earned rest and get spoiled the heck out of^^
Makes a great story though. You can say, "I was fighting off kangaroos" or something, or "You should see the other guy"

[LBTDiclonius]

I know that feel, bro. I've had some pretty bad falls riding too. You're really lucky that it wasn't any worse. Glad that you're okay!

[Kor]

That sounds bad and very painful.  I do hope you heal well and quickly, good luck with that. I guess with how things turned out it could have been a lot worst.

[rhombus]

I am sorry to hear about your accident, but I am relieved to hear that your injuries are relatively minor.  I hope that you have a speedy recovery.

[Nahla]

They took me to the hospital and the doctors said I escaped serious injury but they also said if I did not have a helmet it was very likely I would of been killed which is scary.

I'll never give up riding,it's my life,but thats not to say I am shaken cause I am.

[Cancerian Tiger]

I had a horse attempt to throw me off a few years ago, but I held on for dear life yelling something along the lines of "Whoa, horsey!" .  I'm not scared of them either.  Heck, I've stood up to a charging full-grown black bear .  I do have a healthy respect for animals though, especially the larger ones.

Glad to hear you weren't too busted up .

[Serris]

Glad to hear you're okay.

[FreckledOne]

Yikes!   Well, I'm glad you had a helmet on then, but hope you recover from the injuries you did get.

One of the girls I went to middle school with had a horse riding accident; somehow the horse rolled over her legs and all she had to show for it was a giant bruise that took months to heal!  So minor injuries from traumatic incidents like this isn't too unheard of.

[chaosdestruction]

Owch. I hope you recover soon.

[Zimba]

Poor Nahla,poor poor Nahla I don't blame you for being shaken.

Helmets are such a simple yet life saving thing.
