my name is emily em for short. and my horse is named tatonka, hes a 17.1 hh clydsdale cross, 5 years old, has a great personality and willing as ever. i've been training him for at least three years. and one day it was finally time for a show. so we loaded him up and i was at the show grounds with my friend katie and her pony onyx for a few hours, then i turned tonka around and he stepped HARD on my tendon on the back of my heel. i couldn't walk on it so i called my mom and told her i hurt my tendon really badly so we brought tonka back home and went to the hospital, (katie was disapppointed that i missed her pony jumper class :) it turned out that i almost shaved the soft tendon tissue right off!!! but i didn't :) now im 100% better and riding and showing tonka again even though i still feel some pain in the back of my ankle!
