The Great Fall

by Elizabeth

Ok so it was my first time going to a horse show. I ride English by the way and I jump. I was a nervous wreck horribly nervous. As you all know horses can tell when the rider is nervous. So it was my turn to go out into the arena for a jumping class. I was extremely nervous. It started out ok but than my horse spooked. My horse Belle took off and started bucking and rearing. All of the sudden I fall off my horse trips and lands on me. She rolls over me and knocks the jumps on to me. A couple hours later I woke up in the hospital with...... broken ribs, black eyes broken right leg broken left arm and bruised up every where.
