Everytime you get on a horse you risk your life.
You don't have to competing internationally, you don't have to be on a road and you don't have to be jumping 5ft to injure yourself. Actually you don't even have to be on the horse.
Let me recount my three worst falls.
When I was 10, I switched yards. I'd been riding for a year and finally I got to jump. I didn't have a body-protector. I was unbalanced, the jump was barely 6inches and I looked down. Bam. I hit the floor on my back, hard. I couldn't move for the rest of the summer and long days in the saddle and lifting heavy things still cause me agony to this day.
When I was 13 I was riding a tricky ex-riding school pony called Sparky. Very talented little jumper but extremely naughty. After riding him for a year I was jumping over a tiny 1ft warm-up crosspole in the school without my body protector. Sparky clipped the pole with his front legs because neither of us respected such a tiny fence. Sparky fell. I managed to roll far enough away that he only caught my one leg. The bruising was horrific and Sparky was lame for several weeks after.
When I was 14 I went to try a demonic pony who ran off and did a vertical buck with me on his back. It was one of the luckiest falls I've ever had. I ended up winded and with a broken wrist and some bruising. If I'd landed infront of this horse I'd have been dead for sure.
Horses are unpredictable. My pony proved it the other day. He is no way vicious but feeling safe makes us forget that they're animals. My mum went to alter a boot strap on his back leg and he kicked out at her.
*ends serious talk*
:lmao:

My god! You could get compensation or something! From the ones with the lady and the weird fringe! xD
Ignore me if you don't know what I'm talking about, by the way.
Although, to defend football players a bit, my dad said that last year this footballer got tackled, and the guy stepped on his shin. This guys bone was STICKING OUT because of the tackle. Apparently, it was so bad they weren't allowed to show it again on TV and it was removed from youtube.
:scared:
 
:lmao: Very nice.
To be honest with you, a lot of Wales's players from the 70s and stuff were quite small. I don't know about yours though.

I mean, that's not exactly huge is it?

*looks at theighs* :D Niiiiiiiiiice (:

I haven't a clue, I think they were quite skinny (compared to today :/). Generally they have gotten bigger.

On a "rugby players are hawt note", http://www.jockohomo.com/datapanik/?p=2556 *eyes pop out*. they may be italian, but woot!


Haz, love your essay on horsey riding xD. I've never been on a horsey! :o

Okay, not sticking out. Here's a picture. Look away if squirmish.

My instructor actually wanted me to sue the last people for false advertisment. I'm not a novice, I don't fall off easily *knocks wood*.
xD
Oh I'm not saying footballers don't get horrific injuries as well. I've seen my fair share of them.

Eugh, seriously.. I think I nearly just puked looking at that picture.

Well I'm sorry but 100% confidence givers don't throw experienced riders off their backs :snooty:
I missed the majority of the summer competition season :(

It's nasty!
 
:scared1:
Was she okay?

I don't know. Looks like she's going to land after the horse though so I'd say she has more chance than the horse:sad1:

I wish I could find pictures of an accident from someone not jumping an international course to prove my point:goodvibes
