Topic: New to the Horse Forum
Hello, I had surgery in Sept of this year. I would love to find other horsey people to communicate with about the surgery and horses. I have a quarter horse and a warmblood mare. I currently reside in Florida.
Topic: RE: after a fall ?
im sure you can damage if you dont wait until your healed up. But why are you falling off? Do you have a fear of falling or do you have a horse that is spooking or throwing you off? if thats the case then might want to work on your balance. Find a trainer to help you.
Topic: after a fall ?
hi
i am just getting info on possible surgery - gone to some meetings and waiting for an apt. with a Doctor. OK,........So falling is part of riding ,can you damage or cause sliping of lap band ? Are other types better for "riders" .
thanks ,jeannie

Topic: RE: I wish more people posted here- just found it but it looks like a ghost town
I really like it when a medical professional "gets" us girls who love our horses. These Dr.'s who have only seen a corn field by driving by it on a road trip don't have a clue. Personally, a doc who knows the demands of living in the rural areas even if they choose to be a city person usually make me feel they are more well rounded. Actually, I think that of most people.
Who here hates trying to explain to non-horse people (especially your non-horse boss) why you couldn't make it to work that day because your horse needs to see a vet ASAP. Or, when you show up to work a little sore / tired because you put up a few hundred bales of hay over the weekend. You get the idea. I work in the city to pay for my love of horses, but I hope one day to leave corporate America all together. Have to figure out how to be able to provide for the ponies working a non-corporate job.

Just great. I can't wait for the snow to melt. I forget how hard it was to move!
