Update on my daughter

Post by Gigi Gofaster »

So, I want to thank everyone who reached out with words of kindness after my daughter's fall at an event in Montana 2 months ago. It was a very rough road for a while, with a severe concussion and several days in ICU before we could make the 10 hour trip back home. 8 weeks later, here she is in California getting back at it. One step at a time as she moves back up the levels, but anyone who's come back from a bad fall knows how tough that can be. I am SO proud of her.

Thanks to MGO Photography!!!

Gigi, It's good to hear that she's doing better and the fall didn't permanently take the wind out of her sails and she's found the confidence to get back onto a horse again and sail over those jumps again. : )

Glad to hear she's doing well and is back at it!!!! As someone who's still struggling with confidence/PTSD from my fall 15 months ago that has left me with a debilitating injury I know exactly how difficult it is coming back from those bad falls. Personally for me riding on the trail in a group is what I've struggled with, solo trail rides or endurance rides where I'm not riding with a group of other riders I'm perfectly fine, you'd think it'd be the other way around but it is what it is. It's not easy coming back, that's for sure. Wishing her the best with her comeback!
