RE: [RC] [RC] Another question...(rider drugs) - Tracey Lomax
This year has been a pearler
for me, injury-wise. I have dislocated
both collar-bones, broken my ankle and fractured a rib, all in completely
different incidents.The one dislocated
collarbone occurred two days before a one-day event, and while I was still
nursing the fractured rib.
I bound myself up with vet wrap and dosed
up on drugs.Lots and lots of
drugs.Four myprodol
before the dressage test, another four before the country.I was still numb for the showjumping.
Ironically, the hardest of the phases was
the dressage because sitting to Barney’s BIIIIG “I’m at a
show and everyone is watching” canter, with a fractured rib, and trying
to keep an even contact on both reins with a dislocated collar bone is NOT
fun.The country and the showjumping I could do in light seat and one-handed.
