I sure hope your dad has enough experiance to deal with her, but one must wonder, as he allowed you to ride, and work with such a horse. I also must ask, while working with such a horse, why another horse was even allowed in the area?? I am not trying to be mean, i am just concerned, for you and the horse.
Haha its okay everyone! No arguments needed, I understand both your sides and no I don't mind answering those questions. I am okay, no broken bones, I am lucky it could have been alot worse. She could have crushed my head instead of kicked it. And I know its not her fault at all. She was scared because of the other horse that snuck up behind her. First question, no I did not ride her before purchasing her (stupid I know, now I know I should have) I went by the seller's words and he said that the horse had been ridden before at a stable and was fine. As for her attitude, no that was not apparent when she was at the horse farm becuase she was around 20 some other horses so she was acting like a normal calm horse then.

My father, no he's not experience, but the place we are boarding her at, the owner is experienced. It just so happened that yesterday he wasn't home. And when it comes to the other horse still being in the area with Gypsy...that is all my parents fault. I told them a million times that they should seperate the horses from her when they are doing stuff. But they wouldn't listen to me...and now see what happened? So it was a 'told you so' kind of thing.

Anyways all if fine, I am really sore today from being rolled on the ground and kicked but I will mend. And I'm just glad this didn't drive my father to give up on her. But it will be a little bit before I go back out and do much with her. I need to heal at least first.

Thanks so much for all your concerns and I certainly don't mind answering the questions.
