And I am happy to say I have a healthy happy pony :]

Unfortunately I will not be riding for another month.

Three Sundays ago, I was riding (doiiih). The bareback pad I usually use was wet (There a leak in the tackroom :( ) so I just went completely bareback. We were in the rounpen, and Maxie was doing very good despite being a little slow.

It was pretty nice that day so I was wearing a tanktop. Me and my boy were happily trotting along when I hear a buzzing in my SHIRT. I look down and what do I see?

A bee. Caught in my shirt.

So I do probably the worst thing I could have done, which is let go of Max and kind of panic. This makes him panic, and I fell. Going down, I was thinking it would be a pretty good fall and I could get right back on.

Not the case.

There is a sharp pain in my right wrist and I look at it, and my immediate thought was, "That ain't right." It was slightly disfigured. Since we were in the roundpen I knew Maxie wasnt going anywhere, so I tried moving my fingers. I could move them, but not my wrist at all.

I called for the lady work with on Sunday mornings, and she runs out and gets Maxie and I.I managed to call my Mom while the lady put maxie away and Mom came and got me.

I spent the rest of the day too drugged up to stand (much less sit up). My wrist was indeed broken, and they had to realign it ("wont hurt at all" my butt!).

So now I'm going to miss the begginning of riding season. :[ My plan now is to use some of my saddle money on my OWN bareback pad, and ask for saddle money again this year for christmas so I can get a better one next year. I don't think I'll be showing my boy this year. :[

P.S. I didn't end up getting stung :] haha.
