37Chief 12-04-2012 19:59:44 68.8.206.100 Report to Moderator	Daughter needs your prayers. Her horse spooked at something this afternoon, and she fell off, and somehow managed to dislocate her ankle, break a bone in her leg, and brake her thum. She is close to 40 years old. She works for the City of San Diego as a firefighter paramedic. This will lay her up for a few months. Wife drove by the barn, and saw the fire trucks, and thought it was for me. Almost wish it was, instead of the daughter. Stan [Reply]   [No Email]

Hopefully the SDFD has a "light duty" assignment for her. I'm sure her 'brothers and sisters' will be close by to help- that's what we do. Pass along my best wishes for a speedy recovery from a 'Buckeye brother' IAFF Local 336. [Reply]  [No Email]

I always wear a safety helmet designed for horseback riding. They can save your brains. My neighbor gave me a real hard time over it, insisting I was a sissy. I wear mine every time I ride, don't care what others think. I'm wearing it. [Reply]  [No Email]

Thing is, I have found that if you have horses, which includes my 30 inch mini's, you can expect get a few hurts. I had a hunk bit out of my hand, run over and knocked to the ground with bruses several times and a few weeks ago got jerked to the ground and cracked a rib. Just hopeing not to get hurt like your daughter. If I was a betting man I would bet she will be back on a horse before she is able to get back to work. At 74 half way to 75 I have no plans to give up my horses which is (one of) my greater joys in life. [Reply]  [No Email]

The difference... everytime I bailed off my motorcycle was my fault, everytime I fell off the horse it was the horses decision. Rick [Reply]  [No Email]

At her age she may be able to retire as a result, and be able to become a full time rider!! [Reply]  [No Email]

I'm almost 40 myself and i've noticed a change from just a few short years ago. When I hit the ground I don't bounce as good as I used to. I now lay there awhile as well. I truley believe gravity has a grudge against me because I seem to hit the gound faster and harder than I used to. Tell her good luck from all of us. [Reply]  [No Email]

Hey I thought you lived north of San Fan Bay? And she lived south? So atleast daddy is close by. Sounds like the breaks will heal and could have been much worse, really- a lucky girl!

And with her job, she'll look back on this as a nice, paid vacation. Everyone else will pick up the slack, and she will be treated like a queen for a bit (after some ribbing). She'll be back to work in no time... [Reply]  [No Email]
