That is a pretty big horse! For those who don't know, 1 hand is 4 inches, 17
hands is 5'8", and a horse is measured at their front shoulders, so think
budweiser sized horses. Sorry to hear about the broken parts... next time,
tuck and roll (not that that's easy when you're thrown from a horse, usually
you try and catch yourself)

Hi Jon
I was riding bareback on my thoroughbred, Maverick, and he did a little "S"
turn on me around a barrel. Just when I recovered from the first turn he
pulled the reversal and I went around his belly like I was sitting on a
barrel. No
chance to jump. Hit the ground head first right next to him. He came back
and licked my face. Was totally my fault.
