My Dear Friend....Back in the Saddle Agian!!!
Most of you remember that my "Dear Friend" had a terrible accident while bathing her horse, Barbie. That was back in the early part of July. Her injuries were very severe and she almost died several times. her road to recovery has been long and she has been so brave to battle her way back to health. Her doctors have finally approved for her to get back in the saddle for light riding. Her stamina still needs to get back to were it was and her muscle tone needs some work. When she called me on Halloween morning to say she was going out to ride that evening I knew I had to be there. Little Lady and I were there when My Dear Friend rode Barbie for the 1st time since her accident!

I am so glad for her! What a huge step. I remember you saying she might never ride again (even though she didn't fall off Barbie while riding.) I see that she is smiling, that is so great!
ReplyDeleteThat is so wonderful!! I am so glad she is doing so well, and that she has decided to ride!! Yeah!!
ReplyDeleteWow thats amazing. What a crazy accident.
ReplyDeleteLook how beautiful your Dear friend looks! I an so happy she is back in the saddle, and can't wait for next spring when she comes up with you to blaze the trails with us! Hugs for her!
ReplyDeleteI must have missed your post about her accident!? I don't know what happened? It is awful that she was so hurt but wonderful news that she's back riding again! Ride girl! Luanne
ReplyDeleteShe rocks! What awesome news. Good for her! :)
ReplyDeleteShe's more cowgirl than I am. It's been 9 months since my first horse-related fall injury and 5 months since my second horse-related ground injury...and I'm still not riding and not too sure I'll be back in the saddle this year either.
I keep thinking bad things come in 3's and that's been pretty good at holding me back. gah!

So wonderful to actually see her in the saddle. It was great meeting her during our visit and she truly is an inspiration! Her spirit and dedication are amazing!
ReplyDeleteThank God! I was almost in tears when I read this. I am so happy to hear she is recovering, and really admire her courage to get back in the saddle right away. I think I have an idea of her depth of character. Wishing her all the best....
ReplyDeleteGood for her! I hope she finds her her sea legs and loses her fear since she loves to ride so much.
ReplyDeleteWay to go Darlene, this pony cousin is looking forward to getting to ride with her again!!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful for her! I found your July post where she was hurt... how frightening! But like you say, they are flight animals first and foremost, and even when we have the best relationship with our horses, accidents CAN happen. Kudos to her for riding again!! :)
ReplyDeleteWow it is good to see Darlene riding again! I wish her many more safe rides in the near future.
ReplyDeleteShe had us all so worried...I don't know if I'd be back in the saddle so soon, if ever after all that. Hopefully we'll get the chance to ride together to again sometime soon!
