I fell out hacking - due entirely to RS sending me out on a horse I asked not to ride with a new girl on a horse she did not know and without a clue for client safety. What I then learned was that as one gets older a knock to the head is more likely to result in a bleed. The hospital told me not to ride for 6 months and I am debating whether or not to resume. The hacking used to be as safe as is possible, with the horses well trained at my RS but things have changed. New owner oblivious. Years ago I refused to go hacking with a friend who rode at a school I considered unsafe and two months later she was killed out hacking.
