I was kneed in the forehead

[Dave Reynolds]

by a horse.

You should see the bump, it's HUGH!11! IM SERIES!11!!q!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. How did you manage that?

Sounds painful, to say the least! :hug:

[barb162]

5. That's what I'd like to know

[Dave Reynolds]

7. I was tending to a cut on the leg,

and was stupidly in a direct line of where the leg would go when he jerked it up.

My fault for being a dummy.

[Swede]

2. I was bucked off a horse when I was 12 years old

and never rode again.

[barb162]

4. I rode once too and will never ride again; the horse got scared

of a bee and took off like holy hell. I will never ever EVER get on a horse again

[Dave Reynolds]

11. I keep telling my work

that they need to make a stall in the parking garage. That way when gas goes back up I can ride to work.

Or maybe start a covered wagon transport system.....

[wildhorses]

19. I have been saying that TOO!!!!

I think I was born about 100 hundred years too late!!!

edited to add: sorry about your getting kicked:hug:

[Dave Reynolds]

22. It is feeling much better.

And I suspect (since gas jumped to $2.959 here today) that horses may make a comeback in the transportation department.

[Dave Reynolds]

8. I'm not smart enough to quit,

this horse has thrown me a couple of times.

[Richard Steele]

3. Mynd you, horsse kneeings can be verie nastie....

[Dave Reynolds]

9. Someone will be sacked,

I just *know* it.

[wizdum]

6. Wow. Sounds nasty. Get well soon.

:kick:

[Dave Reynolds]

10. Welcome to DU!

No lasting damage, I just had to lay on the ground for a couple minutes until my ears quit ringing.

[laheina]

12. Wow. That sounds rough.

I hope that you feel better.

[Deja Q]

13. I was kneed in the pelvis...

You should see the bump, it's HUGH!11! IM SERIES!11!!q!

:rofl:

14. I have been stepped on, kicked, bitten and thrown by horses.

Owned three at one time. So I have gotten my share of bumps and bruises from them.

[Dave Reynolds]

15. I had a dislocated shoulder after a throw-off,

but this is my first head-shot.

I should probably get used to such things and be more careful.

[RebelOne]

20. Once when I was thrown off, I landed on my shoulder.

Fortunately, nothing was broken or dislocated, but I had to wear a sling for a couple of weeks.

[DS1]

16. What were you DOING under that horse?

:grr:

[SuperWonk]

18. "She falls down a well...

her eyes go crossed. She gets kicked by a mule and they go back again. I don't know."

[Dave Reynolds]

21. Practicing for my motion picture debut.

"Big Stud".

[skygazer]

17. They are large critters

And can do a lot of damage. I've been riding since I was about 8 - been thrown, been stepped on, been bitten, been kicked, been bashed up against the barn wall and on one memorable occasion, had my back broken.

Keep getting back on, though. It's an addiction. ~sigh~

Hope your head feels better soon. :hi:

[Dave Reynolds]

25. No plans to stop,

I just got done doubling the pasture and making two mustang pens for BLM adoptees.

[Arugula Latte]

23. I've been bucked off, run away with, charged and narrowly missed

being kicked in the face.

It all caught up with me, and I finally lost my nerve after being obsessed with horses for many years.

That fright/flight instinct in them is powerful and they can do some real damage to humans without meaning to.

[Dave Reynolds]

24. Yep, a 1000 pound prey animal,

their nervous system acts before they can think about it.

I'm sure it is not the last time I end up on the ground with "bees in my head".
