You're kind of lucky / it's a testament to your skill level that you've only had this one bone break given that you often train green horses or "problem" horses like mine was so many years ago. I remember you once told me that we think getting on the back on a prey animal and telling it what to do was "fun" in our eyes. That sticks with me to this day. Statistics were not in your favor but hey, the injury happened after so many years! It happened, and now you gotten it over with! You have a pretty amazing record because of your skill level. Heal well!
Whats a hotshot? I can see the plaque behind you and take it its to do with trees? I'm so ignorant of American life. Omg, youre so brave! Thats incredible, I just googled it lol!
I've been on horses for over 60 years and I only had one bad accident, where a mare put her feet down a depression on the ground, somersaulted over me and bent me back at the waist so my head was between her butt and the ground, She was ok thankfully but it pulled all the ligaments between my lower vertebrae and pelvis out by avulsion fractures and I had a concussion and was in a back brace for a year, of course at 18 all you think is "get back on the horse" which I did as soon as I could get out of hospital and physically get my leg over the horse. Of course that required lots of painkillers and had the expected results in the long run, and I'm telling you, getting back on board, in pain and taking strong painkillers to keep a silly job that hardly paid is the stupidest thing I ever did! Still have pain, didn't lose my nerve and don't think in hindsight I would have even if I had rested my back and not "got right back into the saddle" as you are told by idiots. Anyhoo that was my only "breakage" as the ligaments pulling bits of bone out are technically fractures. I did break my arm two years ago by losing my balance in the street, putting my hand out and broke my radius, ulna and that bone at the base of your thumb...of course, being me and anti medical profession I didnt go to the hospital for two weeks but, luckily I had put it straight so it didnt really heal funny however I still cant turn that hand palm up properly....so I obviously dont learn! I hope you are ok, I know, bones that are broken or pulled apart hurt like bug...ry!

"Doing anything Sketchy....or FUN!"...I might have laughed at that one! :)
Sketchy/fun same thing right!😂
