I wish your friend a speedy recovery.

I feel guilty because I've seen a lot of near misses with this particular horse, but knew she was having a trainer to help her with it and thought it wasn't my business to correct/say anything. I wish now I had at least pushed for her to wear a helmet while working through it.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05438372155463437107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359915651309786241.post-50396879911462240072015-06-15T10:22:15.299-07:002015-06-15T10:22:15.299-07:00yikes - what an awful situation and i'm so ver...yikes - what an awful situation and i'm so very sorry for you and your friend!! i've heard again and again that loading/unloading can be one of the most dangerous activities... but you kinda forget about that after doing it for a while... <br /><br />such a relief that your friend will recover and is already showing her resilience.. but still, scary situation. and very good bullet points. it's making me think i should prepare some sort of documentation to live inside my trailer too... emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359915651309786241.post-84208496813962717992015-06-15T10:04:41.628-07:002015-06-15T10:04:41.628-07:00I like that!

It's one of the contacts that responders will look for if they have no other info. So my husband is in my phone as ICE - Husband - D (his name). I also do that for my vet as well.

Even though it felt like I was there alone for hours, I suspect it was less than 10 minutes before first responders were there, which is pretty incredible given how rural we are out there.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05438372155463437107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359915651309786241.post-78544405515992291382015-06-15T07:47:17.020-07:002015-06-15T07:47:17.020-07:00She hit her head pretty hard and is going to be a ...She hit her head pretty hard and is going to be a while in the hospital, but she's tough and was already wanting to plan for another ride when I visited her last night :)Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05438372155463437107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359915651309786241.post-44114662484116564512015-06-15T06:40:48.078-07:002015-06-15T06:40:48.078-07:00I couldn't agree more!
