It Happens in Threes

You wouldn't believe it, but sure enough....all in one day. (This happened last Thursday)
It started out with Olivia, My mother, and I all going out to the horses for the day. Because it was so hot out, mom and I decided to be lazy and ride bareback. Livy of course went first and rode Dipper for a while. Dipper was an angel with Livy on her. Then I got on, and mom got on. Just as she was mentioning to me that she forgot how much fun it was to bareback ride, Murphy(her horse) spooked from a cat and mom fell off. From the look on her face and not instantly getting up, I knew she was hurting. She thought she broke her tail bone.

Mom got home quite sore and later got a phone call from Lynn, my sister-in-law. Mom asked how she was. Lynn replied not well! Apparently the ferrier (they trim horses hooves) was at her house today and she was holding her horse while he was cutting the hooves, and her horse was being naughty and stomped down right on Lynn's foot ripping off 1/2 her toe nail and pushed the other half into the cuticle which later the doctor had to reposition....she is on meds.

After hanging up with Lynn, 15 minutes later Scott (my brother and Lynn's hubby) called mom back. He said you won't believe it....it happens in threes. He was adjusting the fence where the horses come in and out of and pushed the gate outward which caused a latch to hang and catch on the tendon of his upper part of his arm. He said it almost seperated the tendon from the bone.

I decided to be smart, play it safe, end the day and go to bed!!
