As many people know I was involved in a farm accident on Tuesday. I feel incredibly fortunate to walk away with just two broken ribs. It was a freak accident where I went to catch a loose horse and thought they were going to go one way and instead they spun into and knocked me down. I don’t believe the horse realized I was behind him and I fully believe the horse did not mean to injure me. I know horse people say it all the time, but really in this case it was not the horse’s fault. Just wrong place at the wrong time.
There is always risks involved in life, and working with young animals comes with its own set of challenges. I am aware of the risks involved in my choices to train horses and work with wild ones and wouldn’t trade it for the world. I’m incredibly blessed to get to live my dream everyday and share my passion for horses with other people.
What I want to emphasize the most through all this though is how humbled I am by the outpouring of love and support me, my family and my farm have received. I have loved every message, every meal, every card and prayer. I am so grateful and thankful for the care I’ve been shown. It truly brings me to tears. I always tell my kids to be the love and light they want to see in the world and to have them be able to witness how it feels to be on the receiving end of the love is so profound. I pray that one day we are able to give back all this love in return.
I want to say a special thank you to my families and working students who were on the property that day. Words can not describe how hard it is to be in a vulnerable position and know that the kids I love as mine own are witnessing something so scary. Each one of those kids and parents handled things so well, I’m so proud of all them. They took care of the horses and each other. That’s the type of community I’ve always to foster I’m at my farm. Thank you again to the Somero’s, Peck’, Phoenix’s, and Mann families. Definitely not something I wished the kids had been there for but I’m so grateful for the care and prayers I received in those immediate moments.
I’ve actually never broken a bone before and I’m not sure how the healing process will go. Hailey will be available this weekend (10 /11) and potentially a day or two next weekend to cover some lessons. If you’re interested please reach out to me and I can put you in touch with her.
Thank you again to everyone from the bottom of my heart for all the love and support. PFA of Yeti Spaghetti
