OWW, OWW and OWW

Yesterday Hax and I went to the Scotts for the morning. When we got there all 4 of us went into Sarahs room to write down some ideas of what we'd so that day. We finaly decided to give Milly a groom and then go up to the cow shed to have morning tea. In the end Kath and HA took the dogs while I rode Milly up. Sarah wanted to keep Mill(y) on the grass as much as she could. So she was leading her when we came to a tree which overhung the track. I tried to push the branches out of the way but fell off landing on my back. This winded me and I thought Milly was about to walk on me so I got up. I fell over again on my face and hit one of two rocks which were on the track at this point. I don't really remember this happening either but it is what I've been told happened. Bryce Scott, Richards Dad came over to me when Katherine went to get him. Luckily, he had been passing by on the track. Sarah brought down Robyn and I was apparently fitting on the ground. Anyway, Robyn took me to the doctors and Dad came while I was there. The doctor gave me a thorough examination and declared me fit apart from all the blood and snot. My nose suffered worst, although I also have a fat lip and grazes all over the left side of my face. This is what I look like now:

You've done a pretty good job of it. Think of it as character building. It'll heal soon enough and then you can laugh about it. Take Care Bloo x

Carol you said that the first one didn't count. I agree. This one also doesn't. That makes 8 still to go louse. As for the sympathy side Hx, I did my fatherly bit and laughed out loud. Why is everyone so ouzie woozy she fell off the horse! Then she fell over, that is how she damaged her face! I agree with Richard, when you want the horse steak mate, let me know, rather nice normnally, but Milly may be a bit tough. Eric (in case anyone was in any doubt!)

It sorta sounds like it was the tree and not the horse that led to your downfall, so I'm probably with Eric - doesn't really count. What sort of tree was it? I bet it was a Totara. Prickly leaves. Perhaps you need a smaller horse, like one of those hobbit ones, so you're not so high up.
Oh well, at least you have something interesting to write for "What I did in the holidays" when you get back to school.
Don't forget to get back on the horse.

Oh dear Alice you did a good job. That will be a great photo for Mum and Dad to trot out at your 21st.

Hope you are feeling better now that all your wounds are healing.

Love
Milky's Mum

Alice it was your fault so dont complain . Milly walked under a tree and you grabbed the branch . Milly stopped and you were fine . Then milly was about to walk again and you fell off . Your fault not hers . Everyone I know this because I was there .

This is Katherine
