Default The Importance of wearing correct footwear/clothing when riding
No Im not talking about strappy tops

About 3 weeks ago I was schooling Oscar and we had a little incident where we were trotting along and had drifted a little too close to the fence and the day I dont school in spurs....we squashed my right ankle/shin against the gatepost. Ouch I hear you say, Im inclined to agree.

Now it hurt, it swelled slightly and bruised a little bit, as usual I thought nothing of it and carried on riding

I went to the doctors today as its 3, nearly 4 weeks later and its still swollen, but its not a soft swelling and looks gross, especially in cropped trousers ( good job I dont wear skirts and dresses) turns out its a blood blister IN the mucsle Ive been given a prescription for an anti inflammatory gel to rub in 3 times a day, there should be a difference in 6 weeks, not a massive one but a difference...if there is no difference then its a big needle and draining it which nobody wants!!

I was wearing Jodhs, Jodh boots and socks over my jodhs. My gaiters are broken which is a ****** because if I had been wearing them, Id not have a lumpy leg now! Poo!

I have taken a pic or 2, please excuse the incredible whiteness of my legs. (also the lump doesnt look very big in the pics but think of half an apple stuck to the side of your leg)

With flash ( yes I am ghostly!!)
