Bad News

Michele had a bad accident today while riding J.B in a lesson. They had just completed a jump when J.B humped his back and took off at top speed. Before Michele could regain control, he swerved sharply and she came off, hitting the fence at speed. In an effort to save her head, she twisted and hit the fence with her shoulder and back. She dislocated her shoulder and bruised her back badly. I am very shocked. Thank God her injuries are not worse, but it was still a bad accident. I can't get over J.B. It is so unlike him. I can't help but think that this justifies my belief that horses are dangerous unpredictable animals.

Horses are dangerous unpredictable animals - but they're also lovable and fun!

I'm sure some are more gentle than others - would Humphries ever do a thing like that?
