Horse related injuries... what you got?

[Noah]

... and your broke back stuff don't count Chance!!! Cuz you already won with that chit!!! 

I got a good list, I'll get on later and we'll compare scars 

[SCHitemHard]

just some broken ribs 9 to be exact, 2 hairline fractures in the sternum, and busted my head open on a limb and rode back basically blind so good thing the horse knew the way home

At the age of 5 or 6 my grandfather was ponying me on a new mare that hadn't been riden in two years, she bumped his horse and lost it causing me to fall off and knock the growth cap off my elbow....I went through two surgeries / casts to correct my arm so that it would grow otherwise I would have a wee little conversation piece.  It took two years to be able to touch my shoulder and it hurts like he!! whenever cold weather comes but it is 'normal'.

I was also ran under the barn by a bay horse in my pre-teen years, it was my fault cause I had lost my temper trying to drag a stubborn filly off a concrete 'drop' since she refused to step down all while in a halter.  The board hit me just between the base of my neck and shoulders, I couldn't walk or sit up for 3 days and now have arthritis 'spurs' in my back.

I have been bucket off, raked off and stomped...even slammed into a cabbage tree cause I was one of the dummies that would crawl on anything with four legs in my 'younger days'  

My now 6 year old was bucked off either last year by the same mare that ran me under the barn.  He was out 'pushing' his grandma's cows under my direction and supervision when I seen her get this 'look' in her eye and her body language changed, she had enough of him and before I could make it to them she dumped him, he rolled up flat of his back and she straddled him then went to the barn....should been there for the pep talk for him to get back on....lol I am now keeping my eye out for a dead broke woods horse for him cause at the ripe old age of 20 something sister can stll kick her heels as high as the young horses.

Most severe injury I have been dealt with horses has to be the blow to my bank account.

I guess I have been lucky, most serious thin I've had was 6 stitches inside my bottom lip from gettin pawed in the face.

HAHAHA, I feel for you Chris     I used to make a lot of money off men like you because they just couldn't say no to their wife!!! 

[craig]

i must have raised better horses then you guys , none of mine ever bucked 

[Bar W]

I been lucky bruised sternum once, bruised pelvis, wrist that was jello and had to be put back together and a fractured elbow. Wrist and elbow at the same time had both arms in a cast. Thank god my wife loves me cause you can't do chit with both arms in castes. I drank from a straw and ate quisadillas with a pair of tongs. Only way I could reach my mouth.

[Noah]

And now my list...   

-multiple dislocations of shoulders/one completely rebuilt... but that a whole nother story 
-bulged disc in neck from a thoroughbred doin' a headstand with me at a full bucking gallop  (should have killed me)
-broken fib/tib from a colt flipping backwards on me... if I'd been a half second slower, the horn would'a landed right on my chest...
-broken/dislocated fingers from you know what
-concussions... that has been the worst.... 4 I've had to get CAT scanned for... probably what I am most wary of now...

... now that you mention it Paul, my hips do get sore every now an then 

... It'd take a whole damn book to detail all the train wrecks I been through with horses... I was starting 30-50 colts a year there for a while... but it always seemed to be the older horses that really hurt me...

[craig]

Noah,now it all make since ,, lots of major head trama.   

[Noah]

You startin' ta sound like my wife now... 

[Silverton Boar Dogs]

My wife just ordered me one of those "Day Clocks" that tells you what day of the week it is.....not funny....but a pretty good idea for me.

I can't take another shot to the brain capsule, or couldn't take the last one as my wife says, 

[craig]

Paul
    you need one of those cowboy hats with a helmet built into it.

a clock that tells you the days of the week, thats what i want for christmas.

Was over at a ranch sorting one time, got bounced into the side of the horse trailer by a goofy filly I was training... knocked me out cold, she stomped all over me... apparently I all of a sudden hopped up, ran around behind this same crazy ass filly, lifted her tail up(as if I were looking for something lol) while the bitch was firing BOTH BARRELS at me lol... somehow I didn't get my head kicked CLEAN OFF LOL...

... I then staggered backwards and passed back out haha...  they drug me over and laid me out on the floor of the trailer... took me almost 10 min to come back to(idiots should have called the EMT's)...  they said they made sure I was coherent before they let me load my horses and head back home...

.... Hour and a half later, I remember pulling into my barnyard, no idea how I got there at all...    No more than I put it in park, got out and started puking my guts out... damn doctors made me stay awake for 24 hrs after that...

Good times

First ride outside on a Hollywood Dun it filly, mental case like most of them. She went to pitching and I was ridding her pretty good, then she got trashy and I went to sticking her a little and she got me sucked down over her head and of course she threw that big old head up and hit me in the cheek bone. Knocked me out cold BUT i stayed locked in my saddle somehow. Woke up with my head on my knee and my elbow hooked around my horn, took a minute to sit back up and I was seeing in only red and blue colors. The red and blue thing lasted for about fifteen minutes. The filly never moved a foot best I could tell untill I got my bearings back. I figured her head hurt as bad as mine and she never bucked again.

[Noah]

HAHA, never rode a dunnit I liked neither
