I've got a bad knee from riding, which obviously is inward but I have a scar on the other one, hahahaha!!! I love that quote!! Although my horse's have hurt my heart a lot, it's nothing permanent. ;)Kalinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011912207459834938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639697700009231176.post-83550913352102859832013-12-08T12:01:16.874-08:002013-12-08T12:01:16.874-08:00Yeah, the scars should be prevented as much as pos...Yeah, the scars should be prevented as much as possible!!!! They are necessarily a good thing but they aren't something to fret over or cover. :) Kalinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011912207459834938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639697700009231176.post-48627671748943915472013-12-07T16:23:01.399-08:002013-12-07T16:23:01.399-08:00I have been hurt heaps of times in my horse owning...I have been hurt heaps of times in my horse owning life so far but even the bad injuries (a horse rearing and landing on me, or my horse and I galloping over the finish line in a mounted games competition and slipping on uneven ground and sliding over, when I broke my arm - and many many more ) I have had no permant scars luckily. Im sure will be many more accidents to come and some that may leave scars but with horses you have to admit you are going to get hurt sooner or later it comes with the sport. <br />Awesome post :)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285687707142504098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639697700009231176.post-78565023176797371172013-12-06T13:30:53.618-08:002013-12-06T13:30:53.618-08:00I liked this post : ) Although I'm weird- I ac...I liked this post : ) Although I'm weird- I actually don't have any outward scars from riding (with the exception of a minor bump on my left eye orbital- but you would never see a difference unless I pointed it out!) Mine are all inwards. A scar on the inside of my brain from a bad concussion. Two bulging discs in my neck, probably from the same concussion or one of the many times I've been thrown to the ground! An impaired right arm from where I crushed my ulnar nerve (works for the most part, just goes numb more easily than normal). A messed up hip that catches all of the time (I just now got up to get something and had to limp- sometimes it acts up like that). BUT, like you said, I wouldn't trade it for anything. I might could be more physically sound, but mentally I'd be a mess. Like they said in seabiscuit: "It's better to break a man's leg than his heart."AlchemyEventinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14428382410717322169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639697700009231176.post-13564447274787964502013-12-06T11:27:02.617-08:002013-12-06T11:27:02.617-08:00Safety is key.

I have a really hug...Safety is key. Do be careful!<br /><br />I have a really huge ugly scar on my right elbow from falling off.<br /><br />I also have a nasty low scar on my right calf from flipping over a horse'a head and being stepped on in the process. <br /><br />Thanks to my helmet, my head had remained intact:)Marehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16127842562111344534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639697700009231176.post-41392674606703722752013-12-06T09:43:03.631-08:002013-12-06T09:43:03.631-08:00Just wait until you get your own horse! :) It'...Just wait until you get your own horse! :) It's a lot more fulfilling, and pain seems to come more often, very worth it, though!

Getting injuries and cuts are a part of riding.Paolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17010335773772355225noreply@blogger.com
