Wild Ben VanDorn Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Well, had myself a bad horse wreck last weekend and ended up with a severely fractured left wrist. Bad thing for a double duelist Headed to the sawbones for surgery tomorrow, so any of y’all who talk to The Boss upstairs, please put in a kind word for me. Until then . . .

Yul Lose Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Get well soon. That’s why I quit riding anything with a mind of its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 So sorry to hear about your “horse wreck”. I will put in a good word for you and the horse...and the medical staff. I hope you heal quickly. Oh, I always mention the medical staff when talking to the big man. It’s so they do a good job, stay alert and take care of the right wrist...or left, which ever is the correct one to be fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Ben VanDorn Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share Posted September 10, 2019 Thanks for the well-wishes and prayers, gang. I think the surgery went well: titanium plate, nine screws and numerous stitches. Have to wait for the swelling to go down, but I should get back most of my mobility. To answer the big question: yes, the horse is fine! I was able to get him to avoid the pole, but lost my seat and I zigged while he zagged. Even got a picture of it! Keep your powder dry (and your seat in the saddle!), Wild Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
