I think I've got you all beat (some of you may already know this). I've been thrown off more than 50 times, kicked, bucked, rolled over, bitten, stepped on...etc. etc...then again, I am fearless and always liked the problem horses and young horses. I have suffered from broken wrists, broken ribs, broken hips, broken nose, broken pelvis, punctured lungs, broken shoulder, and a broken right foot, nerve damage, not to mention countless broken toes, and a few broken fingers. The way I look at it is that you can get seriously hurt or die just from doing simple everyday things as driving a car or taking a misstep and falling. I am going to be feeling all of my mishaps when I get older though, and I'm sure there are a lot more mishaps with horses to come. It is all part of the game. If you love it enough, you just get back up and keep going no matter what happens.
