A friend of mine was hunting on horseback and got bucked off. I told him it was a good thing he landed on his head, or he might have gotten hurt! :chuckle: Maybe that's why he hasn't spoken to me since... :dunno:That one should have been posted on pianoman's one liner joke page :chuckle:

Had a great day of riding and almost done. we decided on one last trail before they finish logging it. We call it "The Trotting Trail", hence we were not walking it. Trotted nicely along, jumping logs and must have just jumped the last log. I pulled my horse back to a trot and for some odd reason he bucked hard (english saddle) and I went off, my shoulder hit first, then I felt dirt in my face. I was last so it took them a few seconds to realize I wasn't with my horse. I could hear them talking about it,"did she get up?" "Can u see her?" "where?" "How?" I tried to get up but I kept hitting a branch with my helmet, the heck with it I'll wait for help, my arm wouldn't work either. Very dazed, everyone's faces looked different. "Do you want an ambulance?" my sister asked but I said "no way, (maybe not the language I used) I'd rather walk." It took a while to get me on my feet, I passed out once from the pain. Then as long as we kept moving I didn't feel too faint. Walked a mile to get to the closed gate and waited for the rest to trailer the horses and drive to where I came out. .Drove me and one horse trailer full of horses to the emergency and met my husband there. My sister took the hoses home and my friend stayed There were 8 of us in two trailers and everyone did their part. Good practice for everyone in this kind of situation. I broke the neck of the upper arm, therefore they can't cast it. Out of work for a while, no desk work on a farm. Not the "last" memory of that trail, but unforgettable none-the-less!
Just before we cut into the trail off the new logging road.

Did you heal up OK. Are you still alive for that matter I hope?

Hey Steen how are you doing? All better and back to riding yet?Sorry it took so long to get back, it's been almost a year! I'd say my arm is almost back to normal. I just can't reach up to my neck from behind like I used to but most people can't anyway. I was back on a horse 6 weeks after the break, riding with my other arm. I oddly have less pain now than I did before I broke it. I never did have surgery and I'm glad I didn't. Back to work full time in 2 1/2 months after I could lighten up on the therapy or do some at work. I just had to wait on lifting heavy buckets till 6 months after. Just finished with a few rounds of acupuncture which helped on my whole arm.
This is what my arm looked like a day or so after.
