I went horse riding today, Everything was going fine until the horse started bucking out of control. I tried with all my might to hang on, but was thrown off.

Just when things couldn’t get any worse, my foot got caught in the stirrup and I fell towards the ground, the horse didn’t stop or even slow down. It was really scarey, but luckily, the Manager of Asda saw what was happening and unplugged it.

OMG. I was back fifty years, on a young, out of control 15.2 horse who decided I was coming off. Much as I tried, he won and I hit the deck. Concussion (hats fell off when you did then) and the top seven vertebrae bent the wrong way
I was lucky it wasn’t worse
Did I ride again - of course I did but the medics were right (I was wrong) in telling me I couldn’t ride for nine months

It happened to me too as a teenager.
A girl we knew was killed about that time when she hit a tree after being thrown from a bolting horse.
I'm glad yours wasn't a real one Katey

No Crazy, me too. I was about to ask why the OP was riding so close to Asda and then I wondered why everyone was being so light hearted. Time for bed me thinks.
