...a wonderful day...ruined.

Imagine a beautiful, crisp October evening.

Imagine that you are a nine year old girl on her very first horse back riding lesson.

Imagine that you are riding a gorgeous paint horse and having the time of your life.

Imagine you have finished your ride and are running around with your new friends, the other children in the horse riding lesson.

Imagine playing "horse tag".

Imagine running away as fast a you can from the kid that is "it", and they are running as fast as they can to tag you...imagine them catching you and giving you a little shove.

Imagine you falling forward and your shoulder slamming into a post and the breath being knocked out of you.

Imagine the ride to the hospital and the pain every time you try to move your arm.

Imagine your Mom's feeling of hopelessness as she receives a call from almost 300 miles away that you are going into xray, that the doctor is sure that you've fractured your left clavicle.

That's a wonderful day....ruined.
