Safari and me!

Oh no!

On December 7, I had an accident with a horse, where by he literally ran me over as I brought him in from his paddock. I had stopped to chat with my husband and the horse got excited and took off, running into me at a canter and carrying me about ten feet until I was thrown to the pavement resulting in a fracture to my left hip. One week later, after a surgery and a four day stay at a hospital in Boston, I was home again recovering. The doctor said no riding for three months! OMG! I thought, what can I do! Well, my plan was to strengthen myself as soon as possible and continue my teaching, envious of those who could ride. So far, so good. I've started physical therapy, am off crutches and coaching my daughter as she works my two horses and those of my students. Can't wait to see my doctor and get a progress report on how the hip is healing!
