Norco injury

["Beth Gunn" <happyhoofprints@hotmail.com>]

Sounds like the rider knew what she was doing.  Not staunching the blood completely allow for flushing and "circulation", maybe reduces swelling? and the walk back to camp (one mile?) allowed for proper cooling out of horse.

What is to be gained by rider running about, in tears, and screaming for someone else to "help"?

And like Angie asid, what if you are out on a training ride and this happens?  Better know how to Calmly handle the situation.
