Every concussion I've had came from a horse
Mine were mainly from Falls. By myself!
LOL One was when I was very young and stupid (Maybe six?) and stood up in a wagon while a boy pulled me. Of course I fell backwards. All I remember was opening my eyes and seeing my mom running toward me, sideways. (I was on the ground) I think I was momentarily out for a while.
The one from the horse was about 1983. I was on a green horse, bareback, while a guy walked the horse. (Is there a pattern here LOL) He said the next thing he knew, he turned around and I was gone! I was face down on the ground and out. Next thing I remember was an ambulance backing up into the area.
Next one was here, helping my husband stack hay. I was two rows up and if you've ever walked on hay, it's very unstable. I was talking Non-Stop, excited about something and just not paying attention I guess. And I went face down onto the plywood on the ground. It felt like someone hit me with a 2x4 ! That was one of my worst. Could have broke my facial bones. Or my nose. Just a huge black and blue face. A week or so later I was sitting at my computer and feeling dizzy. Couldn't get up without feeling like I was going to pass out. Called a friend who called an ambulance who took me to the hospital. It was just part of the concussion and sitting in front of a computer, which is bad after a concussion, (I didn't know that) and not eating that morning. But I was in there for a few days while they checked out every other freaking thing. It was awful. I think their main concern was why I fell in the first place. They thought I passed out. Like maybe it was my heart or something. I said, Nooo! Go walk on some stacks of hay and tell me how easy it is.
Another time I looked outside in the back and the Sun was making a beautiful picture on the trees that Frosty morning. I grabbed my phone and quickly went outside for a picture not realizing the deck was icy! Fell backwards onto my head once again. Almost knocked me out. I felt nauseous and I knew it was bad. I was starting to recognize what a concussion is! LOL
And the last one I remember was here again, running into our sunroom to close windows during a storm. We had forgotten about those windows and it was like a tornado in that room! Rain was pouring in onto the floor, the wind had knocked out the screen and blown down the TV...it was chaotic! But I went flying in there in my panic and, of course, slipped and fell on the wet tile floor, hitting the back of my head. Are you starting to feel dizzy yet?? LOL Yeah, there's been several so I guess I got to learn to slow down.
That's why my son said, if you fall you're going to die.
. I just thought I’d let yall know in case you were curious or had never heard of it before, horses can hold a lot of tension and this is such an inexpensive and simple tool to help. 
We had a great time but it's always a bit disappointing that they don't maintain it for the horseback Riders like they do for the hunters. There was mowing that really should have been done and they really need to widen the trails. Kick back all that wild brush! And there's so many trees down in the forest. But once in a while you'll see it right on the trail. This one didn't seem like it was hanging on by very much as we quickly ducked and went under it!
And then this one that we couldn't even pass. We had to turn around.
Could be I guess. So to satisfy everybody else I wore a helmet. Hey, I never thought I'd be on a horse at this age, so. Forever Young, that's what I say!
Doesn't get excited about anything and sometimes need some good prodding to get him to go faster! I haven't even gotten him into a Canter yet. But that's okay because how he is on the trails is exactly what this old lady needs. If I want something a little more challenging, I'll get on Stilts LOL. 
I'm used to a regular trot so this is pretty neat. Sometimes if you push him he goes from that gait to a faster, bouncier trot! And like I said, I've never even gotten him into a canter. But that's okay! I love that gait! Its very smooth. Even his walk is faster than my friend's horse other horse. I reminded my friend about the time a group of us met up with two girls on Tennessee Walkers. We rode together for a while but it was difficult to keep up with their stride. As they were walking we had to trot to keep up! 
We were completely cut off. We had to turn around. It's one big loop so going the other way we would have ended up at the same place on the other side. But we ended up only going so far in the other direction. Somebody will probably call on it. Maybe even my friend. She said she might. But next time we're going to go to a different area that she likes even better.
