It is NOT about getting back on when injured. That is dangerous, and I would NEVER advise anyone to do so.

It is about how getting back on after taking a fall can be a very scary situation - It knocks your confidence about and many people quit riding after a fall.

When you will get back on a horse after it has just broken your leg...or ride shortly after having broken ribs and collapsed lungs due to a horse, you might as well figure you're a life-er...lol

I was posting in response to this. It is silly and dangerous to encourage anyone to get back on when seriously injured.

Hey, i've done it myself - I rode for days on a fractured tailbone, have ridden with a broken foot, etc. But I would never suggest anyone do it themselves.
