You'd think I'd be used to the toughness of equestrians by now, but it never ceases to amaze me. Over lunch at Hood's yesterday a pal was ticking off this past season's horse-related injuries: a concussion, a broken ankle, and torn ligaments.
"What about your broken toe?" I asked.
She looked up in genuine astonishment.
"Oh yeah!" she said. "I'd forgotten all about that."
And on his blog, one of our local superstars in the eventing world ran a couple of photos taken during his ankle surgery at Christiana Hospital. It was fascinating to see how neatly the surgeon repaired his torn tendons.
And you wonder why there are always advertisements for orthopaedic surgeons in the programs at equestrian events!
