Suzie, I had a concussion like that once on a MTB ride. Couldn't remeber where I was, who I was with, how I got there. It really upset me. I didn't know what was happening and like most people in that situation, I tried to get away from all the people around me because I didn't want them to know I was hurt or confused I was. So I made an excuse that I had to go down to the lake to wash the dirt off myself. As I walked down I got more disoriented. My DBF - Now DH - followed me down because he could tell that something was wrong. He approached me from behind and asked "Are you OK?" and I promptly turned around and yelled at him "I'd be a h@ll of a lot better if you'd tell me where the f@#k I am!" It was really scary.

I'm really proud of you for getting back out on the horse and not letting it get you down. Keep plugging away and keep an eye on those injuries, especially the concussion. If you experience weird symptoms like persistent dizziness, loss of part of the visual field, numbness of the face or other bizarre things, got have your head x-rayed, OK.

Take care and heal up.
