Oh jeez, all are in some way horse related.
Okay, for the first one I had a horse bolt, (I was only 13 and didn't have the strength to stop him - I did the next two times I rode him and he pulled the same thing - haven't been on him since) - he ran underneath the walker (he was 16H), through the barn, through the workshop, out a door, and threw me head first into a pipe rack on the fence. I had a helmet on, but still ended up with a concussion.
Next one - horse flipped while working on lead changes in the pasture. Ended up with a cracked pubic bone and broken nose.
Horse flipped while jumping - I think we mistimed it and caught her front end. Ended up with a compound fracture of my left forearm, two surgeries, 10months in a cast. Was showing the same horse a week later with the staples still in, and arm in a cast up above the elbow jumping.
A couple of weeks after getting the cast off, got thrown and that arm swelled up. Went to the ER but nothing was wrong.
Stepped on by the horse - cracked a bone in my foot, still went to a show the next day.
For the least horse related, I was trying to lift a gait up, had my right hand on top, and the latch fell down and slammed my hand between two pieced of pipe. Broke a bone there too.
Those are the only ones I can think of right now. Might have been more for times things ended up not broken, but that's all I can think of. And believe it or not, I've broken more bones that I didn't go to the ER for! Actually had a doctor gripe me out because I came into the office for other reasons, spotted my broken nose, and griped me out for not going to the ER for it. Hey, I didn't know it was broken until the next day when my friend noticed it. What good would the ER of done then?Also broke my thumb, never got it set.
