KRISTEN FELL OFF A HORSE AND SPRAINED HER ANKLE!!!

Gaaah!!

So yesterday we had the horse trainer over to help us train our horses (no duh).

The trainer asked me what horse I wanted to work with. I said Cocoa. She said that since Keena cut her leg, Kristen could work with Allie because Bonnie isn't broken. So we go out and try and catch Cocoa, but like the little Spirit she is, she runs off. So we halter Allie up and go to work with her in the round pen.

I got to put the bridal around my neck and zip my coat up around it. Keeps the bit warm. Hm.

The trainer has Allie run circles around her, and then she lunges her, and then she's finally ready to ride. We saddle her up, and the trainer rides her. She does great! So they put Kristen on her, and Allie just takes off cantering in circles in the round pen. Her only goal: to get Kristen off her back, which eventually works.
Kristen lands funny, and her ankle starts to hurt, and later, swells.
The trainer is not happy with Allie at this point, so we put her back in the pen with the other horses.
I carry Kristen in, and we ice her ankle, and we can tell it's sprained, because she can't walk on it.

She got to stay home today.

NO FAIR


Ow! The chiropractor messed with my neck today and it freaking HURTS.
