:cry:
i posted a chit chat this morning JOY' re my friend giving birth by CC and not knowing she was 7 months pregnant..........all doing well i'm glad to say.
i went out for a ride at 10.30 this morning with an older lady friend-maureen is 59,
by midday she was being airlifted to hospital after a nasty fall from her bad mannered pig of a horse
after a nice collected canter the thing tanked off and poor maureen had no way of pulling him up!!! she had lost a foot out the stirrup and, off balance, when he shot to left, leaving her to go out the right door............i watched helplessly all in slow motion, and all over in a matter of seconds. i thought she was dead or broken her neck.
i'd pulled up my horse, and he was a good boy didnt get excited.
i galloped over to where she lay in the bushes.......
maureen are you alright, maureen, Speak to me!!!
she groaned, good she's alive.
her horse had gone off, not far a road, i had to get him.
maureen i shouted, stay perfectly still do not attempt to even move, just lay as you are, i am going to get Alfie. but by this time her horse was on his toes through the woods.
i went through to the next field and bellowed at some men fishing to go help my friend, and raced through the woods to get her horse, thinking, Dear God i hope i dont come off by getting wacked by a branch, or shove me off by wacking me knees.
there he was - trotting up towards me, i caught him, GIT!
people living close by came out to help
We phoned for an ambulance, and the stables to let her friend know.
.
i am know waiting to hear what sort of state she is in!!!!!
and all she was worried about was Alfie!!!!!!:!:
So not only will i be up there visiting baby with no name and mum, and now maureen.
what a day!!!
