Ha, ha bloody ha !!!!!!
Its confirmed, a broken, dislocated shoulder with ligament damage .......... resulting in at least 8 weeks of easy life.
AND OWN UP, WHO'S CHANGED MY AVATAR, mind you, do I need to ask ??????
Thanks for all the kind words of support, and yes the horse is fine and well.
Many thanks to bobster and chrissy for rescuing me from the stables and taking me the 15 miles to the a&e department.
A brief run down to what happened ......
1. Walked horse to gate attached by 9 metres of nylon lead rope
2. un-hooked electric fence
3. horse jumped from a standing position about 12 feet the went into full gallop
4. lead rope runout, my hand still attached
5. Fuddy Mucker flew throught the air for about 30 feet, landing directly on my shoulder
6. horse continued to drag me across the field for another 150 feet attached to the rope.
7. luckily, due to the disloction and ligiment damage, i lost all use in my hand and managed to let go of the horse.
Sitting here now waiting for Zoe to cook me tea and get me a drink.
Then has i am cover from head to toe in mud, zoe gets the good job of giving me a bath ....... see you later.
