I had to go to the Hospital..time for a Gypsy Update

[Kalei]

Well I believe its time for a Gypsy's Nightwish update...to let you know quickly what kind of a horse she is...I just got back from the hospital. Today she ran right over me.

Well starting from a few weeks ago and a few days after I got her. I began to find out some things. For one, I found out that she has barely had an inch of training on her. She is rideable but you never know what's gonna happen while you're on her. She is terrible at ground work, always running into me or pulling ahead. And I found out that all her life her previous owners let her get away with everything.

Secondly it didn't take long and we found out that she has the heaves...so now medicine has to be bought for her along with lots of outdoor time and she has to be watched with how much excercise she gets.

Thirdly because she's half psycho and I've fallen off her already, and I can't control her because I'm a small girl. Also because I'm going to college next year...my dad bought her from me. So she's still the family horse which is good. But my dad is able to control her physcally which is good.

And now today I was literally run over by her and am lucky to still be alive. Her hooves hit my head, so on the top side of my head is a major lump which is bruising, and on the upper part of my head I have a bald spot as big as a chocolate chip cookie. I am definately not happy that's for sure. What happened was another horse snuck up behind her while me and my father were trying to put on the lunge line. We didn't see this other horse behind her, and when my father saw her it was too late, Gypsy's chest knocked me to the ground and I rolled,then the only thing I could do is lay in the fetal position and wait to see if a hoof is going to crush me.

I went to the hospital and I don't have a concausion which is good. But I am really upset about my hair, I'm glad I can cover it up with other hair.

Anyways here are some more pics of Gypsy and my father.









I'm glad Gypsy has someone like my dad, a strong man is what she needs to learn.
