3/93Trail Blazer; regaining nerve

[KarenBrat1@aol.com]

Anyone have old Trail Blazers?  (Please reply privately) I would like a copy 
of the "Budgeting" article in the March '93 issue.  It was one of a series on 
ride management by Susan Gibson.  Another RM kindly allowed us to photocopy 
*her* photocopies of the articles, but that one was missing.  I asked Trail 
Blazer and they do not have back issues available for purchase. 

Next question, any hints for regaining nerve after a horse accident?  A good 
friend of mine was recently bashed thoroughly in the head by a horse she was 
unloading in the dark.  The horse was nervous about backing out of the 
trailer and lunged back in, hitting the woman in the head with her (the 
horse's) head, knocking my friend unconscious and giving her a concussion, 
loosened teeth, a number of goose-eggs on her head and a hematoma on her leg. 
 (Karen Chaton - didn't you do something similar last year?)  No she wasn't 
wearing a helmet, let's not start another helmet discussion/war <g>  It's 
been a month and she's still in a lot of pain - and is now very reluctant to 
go near any horses, including her own 14 & 16 year old dead-broke geldings 
she's had since they were born.  Horses have been her life up til now.  I 
don't know what to tell her except I think she'll work out of it, once 
everything stops hurting; she'll just be more cautious than she used to be.  
She's been hurt a lot around horses, but never on her head.  Any ideas for 
helpful and positive things to tell her?  Thanks...
