Location: In a happy place | sassy&tessa - 2014-03-24 8:28 AM Bibliafarm - 2014-03-24 8:22 AM Many prayers to the little girl.. and most facilities its a rule for children to wear helmuts 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. :)
Yes I am guilty for assuming too but that is what happen when you assume. I won't go into detail but this was not the first problem with that horse that day....that is all I am going to say.
I would love to come to next one but I can tell you I don't have the strength. I went with a friend to another one this past weekend and I am so tired still today. Chemo and radiation have just about done me in. Thanks for the invitation though.
Please anyone that has an update on this little girl please let us know how she is doing this morning. Continued prayers for total healing for this little girl. |

| Prayers to the little girl and her parents. I hope she recovers quick. I think we forget how powerful horses can be. |

Many prayers for this little girl for complete healing of her body and hopefully her confidence isn't too hard to build back up....very scary.
Sorrel horse many prayers for you too |

| One rule that facility has (that is not common in TX yet) is that all kids must have an adult with them in the holding pen (for next 5 runners) and at the alley. Prior to this accident, I thought that was a little extreme but considering what happened, I am very thankful that rule was in place and her parents were there so there was no confusion about what happened. The facility has done EVERYTHING they know to do to make this place safe for everyone. A lot of thought and detail has been put into it.....very impressive place. Continued prayers for the little girl  |

| I agree that kids should wear helmets!!!!! I was at the race but had gone home before the accident thankfully. As a mother of three that love to ride it scares me daily that they will be injured. All three of our girls know the rules of our barn and the first one is that you don't even catch your horse without your helmet on. I never had to wear a helmet growing up and thankfully despite a few scares and some concussions I ended up okay! I wish more parents would enforce this practice. |

Dang it we missed each other AGAIN!! I ran in the 1st section and was out of there by noon. Running #141 in the 1st section again this weekend!! I also ran at the Runnin Late For Love race on March 1st there.....the entire staff went above and beyond.....absolutely LOVE this place!! What were people upset about in the way the situation was handled? I remember Jason explaining for section 1 that morning that any child under the age of 13 was required to have a parent in the arena with them at all times and that if they were to get hurt that his staff was not to touch them......is that what people were mad about? |

In my part of the country its not a requirement. I've never heard of that rule around SD. |

Location: In a happy place | I don't do Facebook. But have a friend that does and she said that they are still just watching her and she seems to be doing okay. Watching for any bleeding issues. My friend is a diabetic and said with this little girl losing half of her pancreas she will probably be diabetic. I don't know anything about this. Many more prayers for her. |
