Waiting for the classic which I'm sure will come

25-03-07, 11:38 AM

my daughter was in a jumping competition (well she was on a horse jumping not just jumping up and down herself) on Friday and her pal who was competing also came off when the horse landed badly. landed on her chin and her body formed a lovely banana shape before landing onto her front. I really thought she had broken her neck. she was taken to hospital to be checked and has just pulled muscles. luckily she was wearing her helmet and body protector. It is a dangerous hobby but living in this area is pretty dangerous in itself.

I don't quite know enough about hunting for me to be pro or against, I certianly don't like the idea that an animal is killed for the fun of it. Horses can be a bit of a pain on the road. And a few tmes I have come round a bend only to slide on a load of horse poo, which could lead to a fatal accident (if it hasn't already). I'm sure there are many arguments that would combat this but sometimes you just don't expect there to be a huge pile of sloppy poo on your riding line! I like horses though, they can be very funny creatures with real personality and their ears make me laugh. I'm a bit of a softie when it comes to most animals. Make what you will of my post, I'm still unsure as to the point I was trying to get across!
