My dad always said a bum ride beats a good walk any day. I have been riding horses for 65 years. I have been busted up a few times. Mostly broken ribs, but never spent any time in a hospital. I am 70 years old. Four years ago got bucked off, broke 5 ribs and seperated my shoulder. Was my fault, knew the old pony was cinchy, I cinched him up and stepped on and he swapped his head. I rattled around on top of him four 4 or 5 jumps then didn't get down pretty lol. Like someone said if you ride them you are going to get hurt lol. Beats walking lol
