Today, my idiot horse decided to grab a mouthful of stinging nettles while I was riding him. He panicked at the burning sensation in his mouth and bucked me off. Don't worry, though, my fall was cushioned, by the nettles. FML

Today, I fell off my bike. I grazed my knee, shin, thigh, hip, collar bone, shoulder and face. I also strained my wrist. As I was wheeling my bike away, I stung my other leg on nettles. FML

Today, I was putting my horse away into her pasture, when I slipped in the mud. In a haisty attempt to support myself, I grabbed the electric fence in on hand, and my horse with the other. The shock from the fence traveled through me to her, sending her running and leaving me with 2 broken teeth. FML

Today, I was riding my newly trained horse. I've recently been suffering from bad gas, and ended up farting so violently, it spooked my horse into bucking me off and running away. FML

Today, I was riding a new horse when a lawnmower starting up spooked her. She jumped straight up in the air and I landed directly on the saddle horn. I can't walk or feel anything between my legs. FML

Goodbye horses

Today, while riding a massive draft horse, the horse thought it would be fun to walk under a very low apple tree that sat level with his back. A branch hit me and made me fall off onto a coil of barbed wire, twisting my ankle in the process. FML

Today, my dad tried to help me overcome my intense fear of horses (due to nearly being killed by one as a child) by taking me to a ranch. Within 30 minutes, a horse bit my face. FML

Today, I went horseback riding with this guy I like. I asked him to help me get on the horse. I slipped, and while trying to keep my balance, I kicked him in the face. FML

Watch out!

Today, I was horseback riding. Somebody yelled something behind me, so I turned around. Next thing I know, I am on the ground and my head is killing me. It turns out I ran into a tree branch. The person behind me simply said, "Watch out!" FML

Today, my horse farted and scared itself, then ran all the way up the hill and wouldn't stop until I fell off. FML

Today, not only did my horse step on my foot & refuse to move, he also took the opportunity to crap on my other foot while I was incapable of moving. FML

That's why I always steer clear of extreme sports such as horse riding.

I had a big ol' boy who liked to try to scrape you off with trees. Aren't horses wonderful?

Exact same thing happened to me! Although she didn't buck me off she just kept chewing and shaking her head and wouldn't move. I hope you feel better!

And, that's why you train your horse to have better manners. For the sake of not knowing the situation I'm its entirety, I'll concede that if it's a new or problematic horse or something you may not have had time to work with him. Otherwise, that's why you train your horse. So that riding him doesn't put your life into any now danger than usual.

The joys of riding horses. If you're going to have a horse, be prepared for more FML moments!

A horse is a horse of course, of course, and no one can talk to a horse of course unless of course the horse is the famous Mr Ed!

Sounds like something my boy would do! Which brings me to ask... Is he an Arab?? Lol Falls are NEVER fun and I've had more than I care to admit, but thankfully no nettles as of yet. Hope you and your tard feel better soon.
