Wow My2Geldings, you have more screws in you than a tool box!
The pelvis one is a doesy :shock:
Well i have fallen pleanty, and many of them wernt pleasant.
Once when i was about 9 , riding my first horse a 15hh old farm horse. He slipped over while we were trotting , my tiny foot got caught under him as i kinda just stuck to him instead of trying to kinda get out. Resulting in a fractured foot. Lol i got straight back on after that and rode with my foot out of the stirrup and finnished the ride :lol: didnt go to the doctors till the next day, hehe.
Another time when i was 13 , my horse Banjo bucked me off and i fractured my wrist , got a migrane at the same time :roll: that has been the absoulutly only time that i can recall that i didnt get back on.
Some other bad times but i didnt get to hurt...proberly more a close call.
Horse refused a jump ( lol Banjo again ) i flew over his head and landed on the jump
brused my hip.
Banjo again....we got bogged in mud up to Banjos stomach while i was riding him...thats was extremely scary :shock: as i was riding alone about an hour from home. But we came out unhurt, just covered in very smelly mud :lol:
And Foxy my other horse bucked me off after we jumped a ditch, i landed flat on my back. And because it was the middle of summer the ground was rock hard...so my back and neck muscles were sore for a while after that one.
And my reason to keep going...hmmm..
Because i dont like to give in to gravity :lol:
I am a very determined person, and the good times for me make the falls not matter so much. I absloutly hate to quit on somthing im doing so must see it to the end. So falling off i see as part of a ghallenge to my determination.....lol which makes me more determined
I even believe if i became paralized or somthing from riding or any accident i would still make myself ride. Because i have no intention of ever giving it up :wink:
