Bad news for me! Yesterday I entered a Don Sachey clinic! Early on Bodie and I jumped out over the small log, attempting to turn left back over the pipes! Much to my horror he slipped behind and fell right on my foot! Being the gamer I am I got back on and finished the clinic! But a trip to Kaiser reveals a broken bone in my foot! So after having my worst nightmares of horses falling come true, I am 8 weeks from healing! Today my foot is worse than yesterday! The brace, walking boot thing I am wearing is killing me. I will be unable to drive fior 6 to 8 weeks and am not quite sure how I can survive. I have a Rolex trip in about 1 month and Mr. G is in an HT in 3 weeks so I am not sure that this will all happen. Any and all jingles are needed! I type this in tears as I so desparate! Please wish me well and give me the strength to get thru this! My biggest fear when riding is that the horse might fall down! So now my fears are all way too real! I need my friends on the TOC to rally me onward! Thanks in advance my friends!

Oh gunnar I totally feel your pain. I broke my foot a few years ago (got stood on - not stepped on, she stood on me - by a nasty Percheron/QH mare). It was awful. And that boot thing was honestly more painful than the break because I had a lot of soft tissue damage too (cartilage tears that are still there years later) and the boot put all sorts of pressure right on the torn tissue...I wore it for two days and then said screw it and just wrapped it and used my crutches. Probably not the wisest decision, but I couldn't handle the pain otherwise . If your foot is bruised or even if its not, got get a tube of arnica gel or cream and rub it on your foot a few times a day. That'll help with the pain sooo much. It turned my foot from absolutely black from above my ankle to the tip of my toes (looked like I had on a black sock...the ER doctor was disgusted) to normal looking in a week and I swear it helped with the pain too. Broken feet just suck. So you have my and major sympathy!!!!

Thanks to you all for your jingles and well wishes! I am trying to be positive but to be honest I am having troubles!
Your words help me more than anything! Like I mentioned I have issues with horses falling down! Gunnar (bless his ever loving heart!) broke my face in early 1997 when he when down. Since then I have tremendous fear of footing and horse staying on their own four feet!! Bodie has had some tripping issues and I have taken steps to get him better, including different shoers and stifle injections! This was truly a hind end slip that ended wrong.
. I have plenty of wine and one of my kitties Charlie is on my lap as I type so I feel better for the moment!! Thanks so much for caring! I Loff you all!
