After the accident

Hugo side stepped as I prepared  my self. I held the reins and horn with my left hand as I waited for the bell. The bell  rang and Hugo leapt forward into a fast canter. I leant slightly forward as we approached the first barrel. We turned swiftly. and turned the next. the whole world turned to slow motion the ground drew closer. I was still in the saddle. I felt a hard stabbing pain in my back, pins and needles in my leg, My vision went blurry before every went back.

I woke up to an annoying beeping sound. I had a pain in my back in my back and nothing in my legs. The nurse walked in she put something down "What happened to Hugo"

She laughed "Most girls with horses as the same thing, From what ive heard fine''

I signed with relief. "Whats gonna happen when can I ride again

'the nurse stared unsure weather on not to tell me

"Im not a little kid i can deal with it'

"Well at this stage we are not sure. We do know that you have a few broken rips and a sprained left wrist..." The nurse paused "And we think you are paralysed .

My eyes started tearing up I knew my dreams of a barrel racer was over. I closed my eyes and ran the scene over and over again. I just wanted to fade into this uncomfortable bed.
