Getting the wondermare ready.
Warming up.
Check out that sexy tail. 
Jumping logs!
Down bank!
Ditch!!
Water all by our onesies!!
And yes, this ended just as poorly as it looks like it's going to. She jumped, but I was way,way ahead of her and got catapulted. I landed on my face and left arm, which feels like it rearranged all my teeth (but is really just sore), and broke a bone in my arm. Yay...
In case you doubt my grit, here is me re-jumping that fence with a broken arm. ER referred me to a specialist who I hope to see today to find out exactly how bad it is. I'm hoping for a quick recovery.
Couldn't be prouder of my pony mare, though. She was fab.
Oh my gosh girl! Glad you are more or less ok! Take it easy.
ReplyDeleteGlad mare did great, but so sorry for your injury and for your joining me on the injured reserve - hope it heals quickly and well.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you got back up and jumped with a BROKEN ARM. You are obviously much less phased by such things as I would be:) I hope it's a minor break as these things go, and glad you had such a fabulous day anyhow. I LOVE the awkward ditch jump, lolz!
ReplyDeleteer, that should be much less phased THAN I would be. :)
ReplyDeleteThat ditch picture is awesome!!!!! Hope you get it framed. And good for you for getting back on!! Broken arm or not, you gotta do it! Hey, I started a new blog, one more personal about my recover from my broken neck (to keep my Teener Thoroughbreds blog more professional) you should check it out!
ReplyDeleteHope your arm is OK!
Wow - very impressive!
ReplyDeleteWow, that looks like fun, minus the broken arm :( That part sucks, but other than that you guys look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteSuch great pictures and what fun to school at xc! Izzy looks strong and willing!Sorry to hear about the fall ending up with a broken arm-I hope it doesn't set you back much.
ReplyDeleteYou are deffinately tougher than I! You really looked nice and balanced for the most part, that really looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteOuch! But, hey, remember that one Olympics where one of the Australian eventers was still riding even though he had a broken leg? Eventers have to be warriors!! Sucks that you got hurt, but I'm sure you'll bounce back.
ReplyDeleteBut, omg, LOVE the deer-leap over the ditch! And your expression....priceless!
Oh no!! And you look so brave in all the photos. (Still need to give Izzy some more rein over the fences, but that will come.)
ReplyDeleteI am guessing the broken bone is not severe and will heal quickly. Keeping my fingers crossed for you and sending good thoughts.
As for Izzy...what a star. She looks great--a real event horse in the making.
Well crap! And you were doing so well. Hope it is a simple break and heals really fast. Good pic anyway. :-)
ReplyDeleteDog gone it, that sucks. She did so great though!
ReplyDeleteOh noes! Sorry to hear about your arm :( Izzy looks fantastic out there, though. Hope you heal up quickly.
ReplyDeleteYou guys did awesome!!!!!! Hope your arm is better soon :(
ReplyDeleteBroken arm or no, that was some nice riding. Well done!
ReplyDeleteYour mare is absolutely gorgeous!!
