Shitty times...
Posted May 3, 2004
Have had a few shitty days recently, the most recent being Saturday when a normally placid horse (Fergus) decided to play up big time while I was riding him bareback. First of all he was just resisting doing as he was told, and then when another, riderless, horse took off at a gallop he decided to follow. This was all good, I was just letting him run himself out, but then the two of them got spooked by a couple of other riderless horses who they didn't really know & he took me on a wild gallop through some trees. Now I managed to get under the first tree, but as he steered me towards the next one I new there was no way I was going to get under it, I tried to steer him out, but of course he wasn't listening, so I ended up getting wrenched from his back by the branches of the tree & now have an extremely bruised & battered left side. So much so that I can't even sleep on that side. & guess which side I normally sleep on!?!?!
Won't stop me getting back on a horse again though. It's the second time I've had a bad fall in 5 months (in fact it was 5 months to the day) and I still keep going. Must be totally mad, but who cares, I just love riding! Might insist on a saddle next time though.
