[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m surprised by the poster who has had at least 2 TBIs from horseback riding. We have a friend who has had one and still deals with the impact quite a few years later; she must never get on a horse again.

TBIs are very serious.[/quote]

That was me.  TBIs have a range of seriousness.  My two were very different (amnesia with the first, unconscious and seizures for 45 minutes with the second).  I am still impacted and get residual headaches 20 years later.

I have had a very successful professional career in a mentally challenging field.  I know many horse people who have done the same with similar injuries.

It’s just another sign of my drive and focus. I keep going through adversity, and that has served me well.  I have no intentions of quitting, ever.   But I am not scared of much, unlike most of DCUM.[/quote]

Were you this insufferable and lacking in empathy and self-awareness before your TBIs? Or perhaps this is an after effect.[/quote]
