Not really a disability…but still pretty bad.
I had a bad fall in May that resulted in a nasty concussion (2 months recovery) and a hurt arm. Fast forward to 3 weeks ago…took a simple, easy fall off my horse and ended up breaking my ankle/leg in 4 places.
Ortho surgeon says that my ankle is never going to be 100% again as far as flexibility and strength. We were doing low-level hunters and eventing (2’6" to 3’). I’m really doubting that I want to jump anymore (or will be physically able to).
Anyone done a complete discipline switch after an injury? Coco’s a QH that is just as happy with a western saddle on…but we’ve spent the last 2 years getting her to really go forward. I’m sure she can still jog and lope, but I think it’s going to be an either/or situation.
