Eek Terry, what a nightmare- horse poop and bruises - that's a rotten combination. Hope the bruises go down quickly.

I agree - it sometimes it's nice just to be checked up on. This is defintily something girls tend to be better at that boys. I think girls are better at imagining how they might feel in the same situation and offer words of encouragement.

Not doing the boys down at all, bless them, but unless they can see a physical problem, that they could maybe offer a practical solution to, I think they find it harder to understand. If you're not in some kind of physical difficulty then why would you're riding be affected.

This totally isn't a dig at the guys , I know a lot of us have very supportive hubby's ect - more of a insight into how they're brains work and why they sometimes act like they do.

Or am I just giving them an excuse to ride off and leave us behind......
