After two trips to the emergency room – one on Thursday, another on Saturday, about 10 hours total – the upshot is three broken ribs, a broken scapula, a broken transverse process on her L2 or L3 vertebra, and lots of bruises. She had a 5-inch crack in the back of her riding helmet, but no concussion (though she was disoriented for a while).
I hope she gets better soon. All this falling off horses doesn’t sound great for a 60 year old lady. Maybe it is time to look into some shorter (?) horse?
I know it may sound stupid but thank god no permanent injury was done.My cousins wife ended up in a wheelchair for rest of her life as a result of falling from a horse and she was pretty legit in horse riding, she has barely gained the ability to walk after a series of operations.I hope your wife gets her riding ready helth asap.
