Horse Related Injuries that are Practically a Rite of Passage
Having a horse stand on you either being a delinquent brat or jumping on you terrified when expecting you to save them. Injuries will range from the standard ‘oh my f**king god it hurts’ bruised foot to broken toes.

Equestrian Fail – When Things Go wrong
