Default fellow horse rider (well, ex, actually)

Hi, my original head injury was after a fall from a horse, and I initially had every intention of riding again. However it took me at least 18 months to recover, and by that time I had seriously gone off the idea!

Everyone is different, and you may heal much quicker, but my personal view was that horses were too unpredictable and carried too much risk of another head injury.......so I moved onto to other hobbies which I have enjoyed just as much.

Be gentle with yourself, don't make any rash decisions at the mo, you are very early in your recovery. and most importantly, do not do anything to hamper your recovery. Your health is the most important thing......
