    • About Me

      Im a x-military person, who loves her horse.I had a very bad horse accident that left me broken physically and mentally. I was bed riddin for months, and am still recovering physically. The accident left me with bad injuries & fears of my horse, i no longer posses the confidence to put him in his place, he wins....and if ne one out there knows horses u understand how much bigger of a problem this creates. I AM NOT afraid to ride, i ride every day still. Just afraid of the same thing happining. I also suffer from Irritable bowl symdrome

      I just read about your horse accident. My heart goes out to you, that is my worst fear. I am so glad you made it. Did you read about the 21 yr old girl who died this weekend eventing? Her horse stumbled over the fence and fell on top of her, the horse died instantly she died shortly after in the hospital. My husband broke 6 ribs riding was out of work 6 mths and his company was really putting pressure on for him to quite riding. He refused, of courst! We have 7 horses, soon to be 8. Quarter, Mountain and soon Haflinger. Son barrel races, husband cutting/team penning, I ride mountain gaited on trails with friends and Haflinger for small kids in the neighborhood to take lessons. I hope you will be my horse friend on DS :)

    • Close Accidents

      I had a very bad horse accident. Shattered my right knee cap entirely, tore my left bicep, head trauma, and almost died. None of this matters to me, bones heal...it is the effect this accident has left in my heart and mind that are breaking my heart. I am not afraid to ride...i will get on my horse in a heart beat, but when he acts up, my blood runs cold. I no longer have the ability to make my horse listen to me, he wins if he gets mad... if u know horses u know this makes the problem worse

    • Close Sports Injuries

      Very bad horse accident. Shattered knee cap(surgery to wire it together), torn left bicep, head trauma. Bones can be broken but the fear that has taken me over is my biggest problem. I love my horse, he is my life...however due to my fear he has developed very bad and dangerous habbits to the point he isnt safe to ride. I do not want to be like this i love ridding and i have no fear of being in the saddle. But when he gets angry and doesnt want to listen, but blood runs cold, i freak out

    • Open Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

      Had it since i can remember, hate it, ashamed of it, i dont know why i am...but i just feel like i should be. When i have a fit sometimes i think its ok, its gona be over soon...and other time i just wish i wasnt able to feel pain like this ne more.My large intestine is lined with ulcers, polups, and leasions, so it makes for a very painful tummy sometimes.

      I found that it did reduce the frequntness, but in times of serious stress or certain foods that i wasnt aware were triggers, it didnt stop or reduce the pain at all.
