I read your horse thread @outlander
From my gut I think that horse would be pure trouble - I have ridden a few over-frisky horses - which is one thing - but this horse has been seriously neglected
But it's still your decision - but it seems to have few space in life for decisions right now - and if you have another thread I haven't found yet I am interested so please tag me
You are so vulnerable right now - so unstable - I just hope this week is easier for you
Dec
It's years and years since I have been riding - I think it's safe at this stage of my life to say I have never been thrown - that was a bad accident you had - wow

the horse thread was my new thread and i tagged you into my im back thread not too long ago- you were already on it too but i retagged you into a question i had @Owlunarand yes very unstable at the moment. half the time i dont know if im jekle or hyde or arther or marther. i doubt this week is going to be easierive got gp on wednesday, thursday im suppose to be going to see my psychiatrist but i dont think thats going to happen and i ahvent meantioned my new meds yet. im wondering if i can get away with it until wednesday and then after the gp appointment i can jsut blurt it out. then friday i have another drs appointment.ive been thrown off a fair few times but they weret too and with some of them landing in the creek or dam or the ocean as we use to take them swimming so they didnt hurt as much
yes this last horse had almost ruined my riding career. i had to go for scans for it and they were telling me that there was a high possibilitiy that i would never ride again. thats when i discovered the scoliosis as well and they said i have to have to manage that more now since the fall and the slipped disk will never be fully right so i often ay for that with head spins and headaches which is not fun and to think this is going to last me a lifetime now! yes the stupid freaking horse bucked me off then pretty much about to land on my back so i had to move despite the pain i was in and i had to get people to chase him away and then catch him becasue he was going very stupid around the riding ring. when i landed on hands and knees but my head smacked the floor rebounded up so i was looking straight ahead then smacked down again so thats how i stayed becasue i literally couldnt move!thats when i realsied its either keep testing fate or get rid of him and i decided to get rid of him becuse after that im sure that day he was trying to k**l me becasue he nearly trod on me and then decided he wanted to come back for a second round while i was down on the ground. that horse also winded me aother time and smacked my nose and made it bleed to the point i thought it was broken

Hi @outlander
I decided to rest my spine and lie down on the bed around 7.30pm and get back to the computer - but I didn't wake up until really late and decided to take my medication and go to bed - and I actually left the computer on and only just found that out
Anyway - wow - those falls from horses - yes - they are okay if you know how to fall but if not - it can be disastrous - and that fall where you were so badly knocked about - that was bad - yeah - you have to let the horse know you are in charge and still some of them don't believe it - and there can be trouble
I've never been on that many horses and the ones for hire from the riding school were pretty bad in those days and there were often bad horses and there were those I wouldn't ride. I think riding schools are better controlled now - I hope so - but I just went there to ride.
I wonder if horses are any more dangerous than bicycles - I have had some horrific falls from bikes - I could write my bicycle adventures but one thing about bikes is that they stay where they fall after the accident. All the falls I had might have added up to the injuries I had from the last time I fell when I ended up in hospital - I don't know - but anything could have hurt my back - who would know?
I hope no one finds your medication and of course you don't have to tell your mother if you go to the doctor or have medication - you are of legal age and doctors and medication are normal things - I can believe your mother because of mine - sheesh - but I don't know about that horse - that has to be your decision and yours alone - not your mother's.
Wow - there are few words I can think of that are polite about your mother - you are being treated like a slave where you are - keep telling us your story - lots of othe people are helping you out now
Lots of early morning - no - it's not that early - left now
