Can I be added to the walking wounded list please as had my first fall off Lulu this afternoon

We were out across the fens with friend and her horse, they were both a tad jolly so to speak and refused to go past a flappy piece of plastic in a ditch so we turned round and headed for home. Not sure who kicked it off first but they both bolted, full gallop, back to the yard. I stayed on for a while but could see a turning in the track coming up fast, Lulu decided to turn right but I went left :eek:
Luckily we both had our back protectors on so apart from being muddy and winded not much damage was done, I did break the arm off my glasses though and have some grazes on my face plus general aches of the sort when you hit the deck at 30 plus mph!
Both the horses went straight back to the yard where they were caught and put in their stables, the kind owner came out to get us and didn't even mind us putting mud all over his back seat!
At least that's the first fall over and done with

Oh Lainey, sounds nasty, but glad you are ok.

Take it easy, and I hope you aren't too sore tomorrow.

Reminds me of the time, many years ago, I was wearing my new riding hat for the first time...The mare (and she really was one :rotfl:) decided to bolt then gallop across the field stopping dead at a stone wall...where I proceeded to fly unceremoniously over her shoulder and hit the wall head first!

Thank goodness for my new hat!!

She just stood there and looked at me as if to say 'So what's your problem'?!

Not to be beaten I got back on her but I swear she was having a damn good laugh :mad: :rotfl:

Thanks Karcher and wow, like you say thank goodness for your new hat. Yes Lulu was looking out over her stable door when I got back as if to say ' you took your time and where is my tea ' :rotfl:
It's funny because, being so cold and having many layers on, my back protector felt tight and restrictive so for a minute I was tempted to go out without it, thank goodness I didn't!

Commiserations to you too LaineyT. As long as the horses are alright..;)

Going to spend the rest of the night looking for 'digs' for Grump and his mate. They are staying in an hotel at the moment but it isnt cheap and Grumps mate is moaning they dont have their own kitchen. Airbnb here i come.

Oh no, I'm glad that you are ok. Hitting the deck at 30mph sounds painful, I hope that you are not too uncomfortable in bed tonight. General aches caused by accidents like this can be really uncomfortable. Take care x
