hope you are ok :hug:

It wasn't SCAA they were my 1st port of call but it wasn't them. I am ok Shygirl fell off the horse and has a suspected spinal so they weren't taking any chances. Just very sore at the moment although found out Carrick isn't bothered about helicopters landing and taking off in his field :)
-
Oh Garvie, sorry to hear about that. Did the big fella do something naughty?
-
He just decided he wanted to be a rodeo bronc and I couldn't sit it out :/ we are both ok though and once my back is back to normal we will be back to doing some schooling :)
-
Gosh that doesn't sound like him. Any idea what set it off? Is his saddle pinching?
-
Going to get his saddle checked 1st he did stumble and I have seen him stumble in his field before and that set of a daft half hour so I am thinking he have stumbled and forgotten I was on him case when I hit the ground I was making a lot of noise and he just wanted to be with me he kept sniffling my feet then when the helicopter took me away Michael let him off again and he went straight to where I was and when he realised I wasn't there he had a hissy fit he couldn't understand where I had went poor lad I went back up when I got out of hospital and he was all sooky he really dosnt have a bad bone in him x
-
maybe hes was unsettled after the gales or slipped on the hard ground (we live not too far from you)
scary for you but glad you are both ok. a long way down from a clydie :o
-
I am moving to a yard with school so hopefully that will be better so he knows work from play. It's only down the road from where we are at the moment so it will be a nice little in hand walk for him also I know a lady rides up past the field so that could of had something to do with it as well. He has built up muscle since his saddle was fitted in November and it's only recently he has been not so keen to work so we might just be needing the wider gullet( fingers crossed )
-
Glad your both ok mate ,where you moving to ?
-
Hopefully just down the road phoning the owner back Friday to see if he had a space open up. He has kept his shoes on you will be glad to hear. They are a little loose but still holding :)
-
If you contact the hospital you were taken to, their reception team should be able to point you to a contact :)
-
I will ask the ambulance team that was 1st response and ask them if they know where they are at on Saturday was going to pop down and drop some sweeties in
-
I believe they are based at Perth, this has the link --> http://www.scaa.org.uk/ (http://www.scaa.org.uk/)

it wasnt the SSCA helicopter that came out to me i have already asked them it was a Helimed team
-
Glad to hear you are ok.
-
Was it RAF from lossie ???
-
It was either helimed2 or helimed5 one is based Inverness other Glasgow but I don't know which on so I am going to pop in by the ambulance depo at the weekend and ask them as they all seemed to know each other so hopefully they will be able to pass a message along or give me a number for them. Who would of thought a rescue service would be so hard to contact haha.
