I had a mini break my foot. My little guy ...Haha. I had a mini break my foot. My little guy Herbie think's he's a lap dog and signals me when he wants me to sit down and "make a lap". Once I am on the ground, he will plop down partially on my lap for a tummy rub. Well, one time in his eagerness to snuggle up close, he actually stepped on the side of my foot, breaking one of the small side-bones. Hurt like a sonofagun for a while but wouldn't have traded the snuggles for anything. And talk about bragging rights for an injury...you can't beat the story of a lap-horse.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313211851900662517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561355549554649764.post-35228374170005893322013-04-09T08:01:42.954-07:002013-04-09T08:01:42.954-07:00Not an injury but a story.

About a year ago my gelding accidentally bumped me over when he got a fright and ran between me and the fence and there wasn't quite enough room for him. I rolled and stood up, no damage other than a pulled muscle, didn't even spill the bucket of feed I was carrying. Explained calmly to my boy I knew it was an accident but he needs to be careful because I'm little and easily hurt. Next morning I was very stiff, and was amazed when I went up with the hay that instead of rushing to gobble it off the barrow as usual he got between me and the other horses and kept them back, Was astounded that evening when the mare got to the barrow first and instead of pushing her off as usual (often nearly over me) he left her there and kept the others back. He has been calmly acting as chief crowd control officer ever since and feed times are now peaceful and safe as a result.

Saddles...I was gathering saddle pads to do laundry. Saddles and pads were on the racks in the tack room. Saddle racks were all hung about eye level. I had undone all the straps and went down the line tilting the saddle up and pulling the pad from underneath each saddle. My thumb pointing towards my face. The last saddle pad was stuck. I pulled once, pulled twice a bit harder, then really yanked on the third try. Saddle pad came loose my thumb hit my forehead with such force that my fingernail broke and was imbedded right between my eyes. Left a lovely crescent shaped cut right between the eyes and a bit of a bruise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561355549554649764.post-73958102524625035242013-04-05T09:58:41.515-07:002013-04-05T09:58:41.515-07:00I will share Miranda's, as they came at just t...I will share Miranda's, as they came at just the best time. A week before High School Graduation!! (First off, when my friends would ask me what Miranda's prom gown was like, I would have to answer "breeches, tall boots and helmet," as she chose horse show over senior prom!!! )<br />Anyway, I digress, during the week leading to Graduation (and wearing a super cute right above the knees dress), she fell off Pippi. Ended up with a bruised and bloody knee. The night before Graduation she went Barrel racing and scraped the skin off the other knee doing the turn and burn around a barrel. Awesome!! That's my girl!!Malinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12632559647246867762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561355549554649764.post-89969627662575234502013-04-05T09:32:28.749-07:002013-04-05T09:32:28.749-07:00Oh no!
