Team member @jan110144 and I share a great love for horses. Jan rides a much more sophisticated dressage style. My horse back riding is solely recreational in that I primarily ride to be outdoors with the animals that I love. Three weeks ago, one of those animals, Charlie Horse (yep!), who is primarily ridden by my granddaughter Lucy, surprised me by launching me into the air. I landed hard on my back. My head hit hard but I was protected by my helmet. Being a 69 year old who wants to grow up to be a cowboy, after I was able to recover from having the wind knocked out of me, I got back on the horse and rode for 40 minutes. Then, I went for medical care.
Nothing broken, but one of my ribs is still very sore.
Yesterday, I got back on Charlie, the horse that sucker-punched me. . He did try me again, but I was ready this time.
As of yesterday, I"m back in the saddle again...until the next time.

@RangerRickL Fortunately, Annie and I are long past this stage (at least it has been a number of years since she dumped me). I used to say these incidents were my bone density tests ... if I got up and nothing was broken, I figured the bones were good.
Glad you walked away with nothing major ... also glad you wear a helmet! Way too many bad accidents with good riders who refuse to wear one.5 -
@RangerRickL The clip above may not be you...but I'm sure it was still one nasty fall. Glad you are OK!2

Ouchy ouchy aaaagh! I used to go riding. Aged about ten the stable got a new teacher. She insisted we learnt to ride bareback. We were all nervous. As if the horses sensed it they started throwing us off. I remember after a few weeks of falling off repeatedly my sister being thrown into a fence and the instructor shouting at her to re mount. Well, I got off in solidarity and we never went back. I've ridden a few times since but it always seems a long way up! Well done to you for getting back in the saddle.
Yes x 3. Lots of walking in the fresh air today. We made friends with this red admiral in the woods. He kept landing on my daughter and husband's heads!

@RangerRickL, so glad you weren't hurt worse.
Right before my husband and I started dating I was riding and was thrown three times by a horse that didn't want to be ridden. One of those three times he did the "hi oh Silver" thing.
I ended up with a sprained ankle, hurt knee, and a few scrapes but I got up on him again and finished that ride. I was really stubborn when I was younger.
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, 90 minutes of water activities (45-minute aerobic class, 45 minutes pool walking before and after)
