Roger,

Glad you're okay!  Not fun, I know.  The only serious injuries I have ever
had coming off of a horse were precipitated by an out of control dog in the
back of a pick up. Don't know who was more frightened by the sight of this
large animal lunging at us.  The physical injuries healed okay, but since I
hadn't been able to get right back up on the horse and ride, I found myself
afraid of a horse for the first time in my life.  I've been riding for over
40 years and it took me by shock.  That was 5 years ago and I have worked
through it pretty well, but, I have to admit, I am a different rider now.
Can't say enough for helmets though, I am a firm believer in them, feel
naked when I don't have one on.  Hope you heal quickly.
