I posted a comment on your previous post on suggestions for that. I would definitely recommend tying her up before she goes back to her stall. I don't know if you have the time to just wait around, but I promise it does help. Feel better soon!<br /><br />Also wanted to ask, how do you make it so people can reply to individual comments?Achieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2466005644305586407.post-40755785185056122252012-01-15T04:05:55.414-05:002012-01-15T04:05:55.414-05:00=O

Falling off sucks, usually I close my eyes and tense up - I nearly always land on my head (one of the reasons I wear a helmet haha). <br /><br />It's good Shy waited. There is nothing like getting up to see your horse running away bucking like a bee is attacking it! <br /><br />I once got on a horse after being thrown off twice, landing on my head both times and being thrown into a fence. My vision was blurry and I thought I was about to vomit. Not the smartest thing I have done, but I get very afraid if I don't get back on immediately. It was smart of you not to get back on in this case, you could have hurt yourself worse. <br /><br />Once when I came off, I injured my tail bone. I couldn't even get into a car properly lol, I had to almost lay down and wiggle my way in. I hope your injury doesn't last long!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12952212732988277090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2466005644305586407.post-50858559551221128642012-01-14T21:30:08.831-05:002012-01-14T21:30:08.831-05:00Thanks!

Juliette is absolutely right, there is a lot of emotion involved when our beloved horses do something that makes us hit the deck, and there's a part of us that feels hurt because "they don't love us" or something along those line. You've got to remember Shy is just being a horse, something happened to make her react the way she did, and don't take it personally.<br />As for getting back up there again, take your time and try to set yourself up to have a happy experience the first couple of times.<br /><br />Hugs from the Wagons team!Martinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14496995504975297110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2466005644305586407.post-24892403216703097762012-01-14T10:31:39.078-05:002012-01-14T10:31:39.078-05:00Thanks!

It not only h...I am sorry to hear about your fall. It not only hurts physically, but it always hurts my feelings when I fall or get kicked or bit, like they meant it personally to hurt us. That just isn't the case. Shy was just shying at something and didn't mean to unseat you. Scary but simple. <br /><br />When you are better, start from the ground up again, slowly working until you are confident. And, the goal isn't to make her work through your confidence in any way that makes her bored and dreading her work. If she dumped you because she was annoyed then you still need to find a lesson that can keep you both happy. You have to find something to do with her that boosts your confidence and keeps her engaged so that the hay in her stall is dumb compared to the fun thing her person (you) is doing with her. <br /><br />About injuries, my husband and I fall all the time when running out on the frozen trail (on foot - not horse) and as long as something isn't broken we have found that movement is the best thing as soon as possible. Blood to the injured tissue helps it heal faster. So, as soon as you can even hobble, start walking around your house and then jogging in place - get moving - it will heal that much faster. <br /><br />Be sure to separate the physical pain from the emotional pain with Shy. She is still your baby - she is just a bigger dog/cat with heavier equipment (hooves, big teeth) and still needs all your love!<br /><br />Hugs to you both - what a scary day, but now you have that experience with which to move forward toward great days together!juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17488138405040629084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2466005644305586407.post-38200742250285892112012-01-14T01:23:50.802-05:002012-01-14T01:23:50.802-05:00I'm not taking it out on Shy.

You probably will be hurting for a while - but if the pain is really bad, make sure you go see a Doctor. <br />It's easy to say this from my side of the screen, but don't take it out on Shy. Riding again may be scary, but you have to swallow the fear and climb on again. (You were right in saying if you weren't hurting so much you would have done so... it's important for both of you.)Dreaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02113432418609414054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2466005644305586407.post-33488886115949769112012-01-13T23:13:08.432-05:002012-01-13T23:13:08.432-05:00Sounds painful, ice it down and take a day to reco...Sounds painful, ice it down and take a day to recoup!
