Well, it happened.
It's been almost 2 years since my wife started riding again, and she got bucked off tonight. She doesn't seem to have any broken bones. She had the wind knocked out of her, and she says her butt is pretty sore. She landed on her right side.
She was working with her trainer, first walking a pattern around a set of cones, and had just started the same pattern at a trot when it happened. If it means anything, I think the horse was genuinely concerned about what happened. He didn't run off, he stopped and just stared at her on the ground. She did get back on him and rode him a bit at a walk, and then did some other exercises with him before putting him back in the pasture.
I imagine she will be pretty sore tomorrow. We do have a whirlpool tub, maybe she'll make use of it.
