Jacob's Fall
Well, once again counting the blessings at the Snyder home. Raven got kicked in the stomach by a horse. She was doing pretty bad, hardly walk at first, but now tonight she seems better, praying she is ok in the morning. Dad says that will be a big sign if anything was ruptured from the kick.
Pictures are of Jacob's hand. He jumped on his horse he rides at our neighbors house, and unhooked the lead rope. Well, that usually works, except someone had also unhooked the reins!!!! Well off they went,
the horse went for the base of a tree with some nice low hanging thick branches. Jacob is more flexible than I thought, he was bent backwords on the horse all the way from the branches, but didn't go off cuz his feet were in the stirups. Well, then after the branches did their number on him, he fell off the left side of the horse, but his left foot was still stuck in the stirup so he got dragged, backwards on his belly. Horse started to buck and as it twisted and kicked, Jacobs foot released from the stirup. Horse could have really hurt him - but just some more battle scars to add to his long list. Well, we didn't take him to ER yet, we were there in August for Nathan (fishing hook in the back of head (past barb), in October for Jacobs freak 24 stiches to his leg, and Titus in October for wheezing bad. So Nov 1, it was almost Jacob's turn again, pretty soon they will have a chair labeled "Snyder's Chair" Remember Tim the Toolman, they always greeted him at ER, I am starting to expect that:)

Ouch! One more reason for Hattie to NOT get a horse. Thanks for supplying my argument against owning a horse. Hope you are feeling better soon!
