Location: TEXAS | It is so sad for the child & I hate it for the facility. Ironic, they were going above and beyond the norm for everyone's safety and enjoyment. They had safe child play areas, extra vigilant crew and too many other things to mention. The owner was so intent on being family friendly. Just sad. Prayers to all involved. |

SHR, if who you talked to was upset by something the arena crew did or didn't do I can tell you I was in section 2 and the owner of the place explained the rules they are required to go by as per their insurance. And given how EVERYTHING they did was by they book I believe it. I am sure there were some upset by that but I see their point of view. Again, prayers for the little girl and a speedy recovery. |

Oh no Sassy it was not the producers or facility. I apologize if anything I said may have implied that. I think from everything I heard this was a top notch production and I am so sorry this happened when they tried so hard to do everything right. I wish I had a horse and I wish I was healthy enough and I guarantee you I would be right there with you next time. Ahhh I digress. Continued prayers for this little girl.
So much for her to have to go through in her young life. |

I had a horse flip over on me when I was 17. I got hit in the face by the horses head and the saddle horn went in my stomach area...I to was unconsiencous for 3 days plus. My face was swollen but no teeth gone..But I to had my pancreas damaged and blood clots in my stomach. All is well now but I pray the parents keep an eye on her even after she is out of the hospital because I don't remember how long I was out but I got horrible pain back in my mid area and they ended up taking a quart of fluid out of me. Had to go through my ribs. Something I will never forget...Prayers for all involved and a safe and fast recovery. |

Location: Here | F1NoniStephenville - 2014-03-23 4:53 PM Update on the little girl. Now first off I don't feel it's necessary to judge or talk about someone's personal life so I want to give glory to The Lord for protecting this girl. But here's the down low only posting so everyone knows she's going to be okay :) The young girls pancreas was split in half and the damaged half was removed, and her liver was split open Damage all over and they were able to stop most the bleeding. They are keeping her sedated to make sure bleeding has stooped and she is past the critical part of the injury. She's a children's hospital in Dallas.

Location: Do I hear Banjos? | Gosh...I am glad they got her to a good childrens hospital quickly. That makes a big difference in the outcome I'm sure. I hope she makes a fast recovery and that she is able to get back in the saddle.
I know that crap happens...anywhere any time...but I will say that I have been happy to see more of the kids wearing helmets in western disciplines lately. Don't know if she was...I just have noticed it a lot more and I think that's a good thing. I've also seen some parents putting the impact vests on their kids too. Just like when the bull riders started wearing their helmets/vests...It took them some time getting used to it...but it's a good thing really...especially for the kiddos that look to their parents and heros to emulate.

Only in the English world.... I've yet to see it be a requirement anywhere for kids in western riding. |

Not in Texas Bibs. Not even close. You maybe see a handful of kids riding in helmets down here and it is because the parent says so, not the facility.
And thanks for clarifying SHR. Jason made a comment saturday night that implied there were people upset about how the accident was handled and he really stressed the rules they had to abide by so I had assumed that was what you were talking about. And that's what happens when you assume. :)
And you better be on the path to getting on a horse and riding!!! :) PS-come out this weekend!! We are running in the second session again on saturday. I will have Grasshopper with me too. :) |

Location: Florida.. | wasnt there a discussion about it last year that was being implemented? I assumed it was up to the facility..and they would choose yes.
But now I remember the parents on here saying it was parental rights to not.... so ok.. |
