Getting back on after a fall

[vab]

I came off side ways on a grass verge and have two fractured ribs not pony fault saddle slipped had 7 days in hospital to sort out pain issues and now home not doing much but I will have to ride again as I have a 6 yr old wo needs ridden not nervous about hacking her its getting on and off as I have a dodgy hip as well I almost slide off and not sure how is best to get off and how long does it normally take before you can ride after this sort of injury

would leave it for a good few weeks until the drs clear you for riding again .............never cracked my ribs falling from a horse but strangely enough cracked a couple from coughing too hard when I had a bad bout of flu one year...........took about 6 weeks before being cleared to get back in the saddle and even then for a limited time until I felt comfortable again

Hmm long job then its been 2 weeks now and I definitely don't feel ready to ride or do anything horsey yet thankfully my lovely husband is dealing with the ponies for me

oh dear am sorry to hear this, you need to be resting def!! xx hope you have a speedy recovery though xx

You poor thing. I've come on here to seek advice re getting back on after a fall I've had today. As a nurse I'd say 6 weeks before you put those ribs to the test. Good luck

Oh dear..my sympathies to you all, I have a very sore hip after a tumble from my 5yr old. I just got back on as seemed preferable to walking home but I've used rescue remedy with things that worry me in the past.

I hope you are both feeling better soon and my hip is less stiff in the morning!
