Eldest daughter practising for next weeks dressage got thrown from her horse, foot trapped in the arena fence, she’s now at Barnsley A&E, suspect either broken ankle or ligaments torn, doubt she’ll be competing next week,
Just found out, broken in three places, needs operation, keeping her in

Please give her my best regards as I’m sure she will be very pissed off at the moment and needs to know others will be thinking of her and wishing her well. My sister had horses, well still has sort of 2 little Shetland things, after getting thrown and hurting her back she’s never got back on again as she is unable to. Personally I don’t understand the attraction to riding horses - but equally that can be said about motorbikes.

Horses..... Dangerous at both ends and sneaky in the middle. No motorcycle ever got spooked by a rabbit or a bird.

As Clarkson once said "who'd put their trust in something that needs 3 weeks of therapy after a carrier bag blows across their path" - or words to that effect.

I hope she makes a full recovery BTW.

Spent a lot of my younger days on or around horses as cousins had a riding stables, apart from one playful bite never had a single problem .......... still don't like the bloody things much though having seen too many accidents through no fault of the owner/rider

Hope your daughter recovers soon Derek
