You'd think that by now I'd be used to how tough horse people are, but I'm constantly amazed.
A friend of mine said that last week her horse had knocked her down and then vaulted over her. She said she immediately assessed her injuries, and although she was bleeding and badly bruised, she knew nothing was broken.
"When a bone is broken, you know it. You feel this sort of electric pulse. It's very distinctive," she said, as if she were a gourmet explaining the difference between imported and domestic prosciutto. She said that in an accident years ago she knew right away that her shoulder was fractured; "what I didn't know is that it was dislocated, too."
