I’m still recovering from a broken leg I sustained in 2021. I did a foolish thing, but I imagine many of you horse people out there would understand… I got in the way of a horse kick, aimed at another horse, that likely would have permanently crippled the other horse. I didn’t exactly mean to, but the consequences of trying to settle unhappy horses and prevent their damage… well, I’m glad it was me not the mare, because I can heal a lot more easily, as three months in a wheelchair won’t exactly drive me out of my brain. At least not entirely.

At some point, we’ve set up for the jump, we’ve adjusted the stride, we’ve found the distance, we’ve steered for the center and looked for the next jump – when we hit the base of the jump, whether we are ready or not, whether we are correct or not, at this point we just need to prepare for take off and let the horse carry us to the other side.

It’s been a long hard recovery but, I am ready to get back into everything,
