Today, my horse, who has been nothing but gentle for 27 years, kicked me right in the knee on my last vacation day. It's so bad, I can hardly sleep or sit down on the toilet. Tomorrow I go back to work, which involves lots of walking, sitting down and getting back up, as well as lifting heavy stuff. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
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
Today, my parents came to visit me at the ranch I work at. They're scared to death of horses, but I was explaining how they are almost completely harmless. I was showing them how to work around the horse without getting kicked. As they relaxed, the horse kicked me. I now have a broken leg. FML
Today, my horse learned a new acrobatic trick. Unfortunately, I was still on top of him when he tried to somersault. The horse is fine. I'm in the hospital, fresh out of surgery for a broken femur. FML
Today, I broke my wrist when I got into a disagreement with a horse. FML
Today, it’s been a couple of days since I hurt my knee. What did I do? Fall asleep sitting up, and somehow locking my knees. It’s been at least a week already. I’m only 26. FML
Today, I fell off a ladder while building a shelter for one of my wife's horses. I think I broke some ribs. I absolutely hate horses. FML
Today, I couldn't sleep and in the process of tossing and turning I did something very painful to my back. I spent 4 years in the marine corps infantry, but laying in a bed kicks my ass. FML
Today, I'm on crutches and wearing an orthopedic boot because a 22.5 pound box of cat litter fell out of my back hatch onto my foot. FML
Today, I fractured a bone in my knee. Now not only do I have to wear a huge knee brace for the next two months, I'll have to sit around in a hotel room all of next week while my family has fun skiing in the mountains. FML

You have to make your own decision. Which is more important to you? Your job? Or your leg? You may not even be at your company anymore in a year. But damage to your leg is forever. Most companies don’t give 2 sh*ts about their employees. Just care if the work gets done. The longer your on your leg the longer it’s going to take to heal. And it may even get worse if you don’t let it heal.

First you go to the doctor then have a vet see your horse, they tend to be grumpy if they have a infection or parasite.

On the plus side, your boss can count on you not wanting to engage in any... ...wait on it... ...horseplay.

Just rest and recover for now, you'll be back on the saddle in no time at work.

I had the same thing happen to me. A horse i was training kicked me right in the knee(with thick metal shoes on) because he got excited over grass 😑 I had to stay home from school for at least a week to rest it. You must take care of yourself OP, or things could get a lot worse. Best of luck to you!

I’d get the knee checked to make sure you don’t have a tibia plateau. That would be a nasty break and a kick from a horse can definitely cause that. Tibia Plateau are one of the worst. All the weight of your body rests on that small area of bone. If not treated, your leg will be crippled for life.

Don’t ruin your leg for life. When I moved into my apartment I fell down the stairs because I was excited and twisted my ankle. That was 7 years ago and it still hurts. I went to work right after and tried using every brace and ace bandage I could, but I should of stayed off of it and had it checked out sooner. You will regret it.

Sounds like the horse is ready to feed the dogs
