Back on the horse!
A day early of my 12 week goal I got back on my horse. I had my boot on, rammed right into the stirrup and got on from a mounting block; getting off I slid down very carefully. It went ok but made me appreciaate we don’t just sit there like a sack of potatoes (non riders think skiing - legs like shock absorbers - not just weight on the bum!) - I could feel the movement in the tendon and sadly the weakness! Only went out for half an hour and no ill effects afterwards so I guess it is a start and like everything will have to build up slowly, but need to seriously get going on the strength training. Won’t bore everyone with more detail as I don’t think there are any other horsey bloggers out there - never found any in my searches - probably because it is not usually an injury associated with horse riding. Will do a page later for others that might come along later.

Not a very “horsy” set, indeed. But if you check out achillesblog.com/atrpt.php , you’ll find two other posters/bloggers over the years, who’ve mentioned horses in their cause of injury. I didn’t check to see if they actually blogged.

Claire,
First off, glad to hear that you are now back on your horse, and I hope it’s been getting better and better with each ride!
Second, thank you for pointing me in the direction to your blog! Very interesting to read about your Rehab protocol.
Best wishes and keep us updated!

Hi there, where did you source your kneeling scooter from? I’ve had ankle surgery, the hospital has never heard of them. I’m looking for a NZ supplier. Ann

Hi, I’m a fellow horse person.
I injured myself riding my cutting horse. I ended up subluxating my Peroneal tendon in my ankle. Going for surgery in a week. I have been riding with my foot out of the stirrup. But, no cutting. The doctor has told my its going to be a minimum six months before I can cut again.
Glad you are riding again
