Already having set up an interview the following week, a visit from my family would keep my mind occupied so the stress wouldn’t build too much. Spent the fateful day introducing my family to my wonderful summer wonderland, I couldn’t have been more happy to share the precious ranch that had provided much needed solace from the drama of Kalaloch; and what better than a ride on Ribbon, the new horse I’d been spending countless hours with? So what if she’d been giving a bit of resistance (as all new horses do with new people)?
The moment I hit the ground, I heard a loud crack. Most of the family had a ride and Ribbon got progressively more stubborn with each rider, so I decided to get on her to “show her who’s boss.” I got shown! As I later found out, when Ribbon rolled on me, my foot was essentially crushed and required serious surgery…with a surprisingly lengthy recovery time. Did that mean Americorps in Aberdeen was out?
