Cartman and I fell down a rocky cliff tonight. UPDATE**

Pennymercantile · 09-26-2007, 06:59 PM

Ughhhh

Cartman and I went up this very steep rocky area to get up to the hill. We have done this one tons of times.

He got to the top where there is a rock that needs to be kind of jumped and he lost momemtum. I tried kicking him a little but was afraid. He started going back down and there are rocks and turns on the hill and he fell w/me on him. He started to get up and fell again and I bailed. My husband thinks I did not give him enough rein and I don't remember it but I think he was right.

He went over backwards and feel down the rocks. I am ok w/a sore but because I didn't have far to fall w/the large rock on the side. He however, is favoring a leg and I think he has either bruised his shoulder or worse.

I will have to wait until tomorrow.

I got back to the barn and said a prayer THANKING GOD for saving my life. If I had stayed on I would be dead!

Gayle and Cartman

So glad to hear that you are alright (with the exception of the soreness). I'll be holding you both in my thoughts. Please keep us updated.

That would scare the crud out of me! Glad to hear that you are not hurt, hope Cartman is ok, and hope neither of you are too sore in the morning.

OMG.
I am so glad your OK.
Sounds like you experienced one of the many nightmares that riders have every time they go on a ride.
That had to have been frightening!
