[RC] Injuried rider, riding again - DVeritas

I'm happy to report that a rider who fractured his left ankle, left fibula and pelvis (5 months) ago, rode along the Pony Express and Oregon Trails today.  He actually used every gait, including hand gallop.  The day was brilliantly blue and windy, but "the day" had finally arrived to face what "the ride" would bring.  (There was a slight twinge in the pelvic girdle, but the biological changes seemed to have held up.)
 
The horse guided the rider back to the trail he thought he'd never see again.
 
Though all the emotional issues aren't totally fixed,  Big Horn 100 is on.
Swanton, too.
 
That'll get him outta bed in the mornings.
 
Thank God,
Frank
