Loose Horse. Hard Spill. UNEDITED.

Loose horse from behind the gate pushes my horse into the rail. When their legs tangle I'm crushed between the rail and my collapsing pony. As the loose horse returns my Wife and I try a boxing maneuver. The loose horse then attempts to jump the outside rail forcing my Wife to back off and in so doing place the loose horse once again within my reach. Unknown to me my saddle was damaged in our collision with the rail so as I make the grab my right stirrup breaks away. The loose horse was unharmed but my horse suffered a small puncture wound on his left leg. With bute and a course of antibiotics he should be fine. I received a minor concussion, bruised ribs, and a dislocated finger :D

How did you accquire that job?

[fukushin]

@EMSWolf911 - I started galloping horses at the age of sixteen during school vacations. Once I was out of school I galloped full time for ten years. To be an outrider you have to not only be an expert rider (not self proclaimed) but also be able to read the body language of other horses and riders at a distance. This ability is usually only developed after a number of years in a saddle at a racetrack.

Outriders go with the gate crew on the list of 'underappreciated people with dangerous jobs."

Amazing. You deserve a medal .... I posted this on Facebook and made sure everyone noticed that you walked your horse back to the barn with broken ribs, concussion and dislocated finger before ever thinking about taking care of yourself!!

GOOD MAN!

Phenomenal rider!!

I'm really glad you're okay.

@DirtyD777 - No, I'm allowed tea : )

@VelmaSabina As to your age, no you are not too old at all.

[fukushin]

@VelmaSabina Really depends on where you live. Almost everyone I know who ends up mounted works as a groom for at least a year. It varies from country to country.
