Can't wait to ride again!

[DollyDimples]

Hi everyone,

I'm new here, it seems a great place! :)
I've decided that i am going to take up riding again, i have missed it so much -- it's been 10 years since i sat on a horse! I used to ride as a youngster/teen, but unfortunately the cost of regular riding lessons became too much for my mum & dad... and so i had to give up my BIG LOVE!

Well now i'm 23, i figured i should take it up again -- i can't wait! Thing is, i am going to have to be patient -- i'm on crutches at the moment with torn ligaments in my ankle/torn achillies & calf.. that'll teach me for being a martial artist.. :D It's been nearly six weeks since the accident & it's healing slowly... i just hope it hurries up -- i wanna start riding!!! :cool:

Thanks for reading!

Hey! Welcome to the boards :) Thats great that you have decided to take up riding again! I had to stop for a year when I broke my leg and I missed it soooo much, I don't know how you coped with 10 years!
My dad does martial arts and he is forever breaking bones and tearing ligaments etc. I hope you get better soon and good luck with the riding!

Hiya Claire, thanks for the welcome :) ..

Yeah injuries come along with the martial arts territory.. thankfully not that often! My list includes; black eyes, scratches, split lip, torn muscles/tendons/ligaments & most impressively an elbow dislocation (very painful at the time!) .. but that was kickboxing, i now practice Jiu Jitsu!

I'm itching to get back @ riding .. *willing ankle to heal* .. :rolleyes:

Cheerio!

My worst injuries have all come from horses.... my kickboxing classes have been like needlework in comparison! Bare knuckle street fighting seems a much safer and more gentle hobby :)

I just got surgery on my ear last week! So I've been holding off the riding :( Can't wait to hop back on my pony! It'll be soon...next week probably!

Hi!! I'm new, thought this looked a great place so had to join! :)
I'm hopping to get back in to riding again soon, buying my first flat forced me to give up for a while!
Hope you get better soon.
