Thrown Off The Horse (age 15)

Rainbow: hey aj thank you allowing me ride one of the horses.


Aj: no problem sugar. Now listen I'm going to let you ride butterscotch, but just be careful she can be a little skittish.


Rainbow: I know I'll be careful.


Aj: let's go and get her then.


Rainbow had gone to the farm to hang out with applejack he girlfriend was forever going on about the horses, on the farm and how rainbow should have a go at riding one of them.


Aj: well here she is this is butterscotch, why don't you give a pat and a carrot so she gets too know you.


Butterscotch was light brown young female horse, who was very friendly and loved it when people fed or strokes her. Once she'd come to trust rainbow She allowed her to climb on her back.


Aj: *helps rainbow into the horse and hands her the reigns* now be careful babe like I said butterscotch can very skittish, you remember what I told you yes?


Rainbow: get off if I need too.


Aj: ok.


Rainbow started riding butterscotch at a light trot and first then eventually she started to speed up. Suddenly a group of teenage boys rode past on their bikes, ringing their bells and shouting. The noise startled butterscotch and she started to run in a panic, and began to buck. Rainbow tried to get off but she just couldn't, eventually butterscotch bucked extra hard and rainbow was thrown off the horses back and onto the hard ground.


Aj: *runs to rainbow concerned* RAINBOW! Are you alright?!


Rainbow: *trying not to cry* n-no I've hurt my back!


Aj: we'd better get you to the hospital and get you checked out, I'm going to call an ambulance though because i don't think I should move you too much.


*after the trip to the hospital*


Rainbow hadn't broken her back completely, but there was a slight fracture at the bottom of her spine, the doctor said she was really lucky to not have done worse damage.


Aj: *puts her arm around rainbow* I'm sorry you got hurt baby.


Rainbow: it's not your fault, I tried to get off and couldn't. Is butterscotch ok?


Aj: *chuckles and kisses rainbows cheek* she'll be fine, those boys just scared her that's all.


Rainbow: I understand it'll be a while before I get back on a horse though.


Aj: that's ok.


From now on when rainbow visited the farm, she just admired the horses from a safe distance.
