If she got dragged by a stirrup she shouldn't be riding a horse that easily spooked. That's why you have your heals down In the stirrups

She shouldn't have been making a noise like that near an easily spooked horse. When I was 10, a dog ran under the horse I was on and the horse jumped five feet in the air. On a trail ride, the same horse cantered down a steep hill and I was so small I fell off with my foot caught in the stirrup but since my cousin taught me emergency procedure, I got my foot out of it. It's very unfortunate that happened but safety first.

She didn't die because of that soda. She died because she was too inexperienced to ride that horse. If the horse was that spooky then she never should have taken her hands of the reins.

Put a child on an older horse. They know better. If the horse was just broken or middle aged then of course they're going to get easily spooked.

That doesn't mean that all horses are dangerous...I have been working with horses that literally way a ton for over a year. I'm still alive...Never been kicked, or injured. Just gotta know how to work with them.

This was not my kid. She was a friend of mine's neighbor. I have no experience with horses and therefore had no idea of this horse's temperament, and that she was an inexperienced rider. And I know not all of them are like that, but that is the first thing in my mind is her getting dragged away and her body being flung around like a rag doll when I see a horse.

It was her horse. Her parents had him for about 6yrs and supposedly never done anything like that before.

68 You mean **weigh, right?

I know how you feel. When I was about 7 our friends bought a new horse and they wanted me to ride double with their son. They didn't know the horse had never done that and as soon as they set me behind their son the horse flew forward. The son and I knocked heads and I was knocked unconscious and had a concussion and many scrapes and bruises. All I have to say is that they need to know the animal. I have had damn near bomb proof horses before and that's what that little girl should have been on. Accidents happen. Also the experience of the rider is important. You don't put a little kid on a huge thoroughbred and say "hi ho silver!"

Assuming OP is male.

Male or female, it still would hurt.

It would hurt either way yes, but I think it would hurt a guy just a TAD more.

Crazytwinsmom - Last I checked, the ******** has erectile function and sensation too.

Can you get ED as a female? Just asking, not challenging.

Doc, I didn't know the nerve was called the same for both male and female. Learned something new today! Thx!

RPS - Not as such, as far as I know. But they are looking into using Viagra and its cousins for women too.

She can still. Long as you're hung like one.
