[RC] injuries - June Scheunemann & Mike BernsdorfI say most horse
folk are just plain tougher than "normal" folk. I fell off a hay wagon (5
bales high) onto another wagon edge....basically did CPR on myself...cracked my
sternum. Rode the Shore to Shore 2 weeks later...I wore 2 sport bras and
took alot of drugs but, damnit....I made it and my mare was just
awesome!!! I know Roberta Harms rode a ride after going off and breaking
or cracking both wrists. Then in '02 I went off broke some ribs and kept
complaining to the Dr. about my hip. He told me it was arthritis and maybe
I should stop riding...ha ha a year and half later I convinced him to Xray it as
it was always hurting no matter what...Ha....crack in the neck of the femur 3/4
way through. He turned white and said "what the hell are you doing
walking?" The ortho he sent me to also said he didn't anyone who could or
would be walking with something like that...much less riding.....and I had been
riding for the year and half....just with ibu's. I know Jan Worthington
and has ridden many miles with cracked or broken something or another.
Like I said we are a tough bunch in general. Can't say if we are always
the smartest bunch but, most of the time we have more fun than most
folk!!!!!!!!!!!! YEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
