My goodness, that was some injury, and surgery!
You were lucky that you had such upper body strength that you were able (w some challenges) to continue working until you had the surgery.
My mom while living in a nursing home was complaining of arm pain. Checked her out, couldn't tell what was wrong.
Eventually they found out her shoulder was dislocated - but bc she had one good ligament left she was doing mostly ok enough they didn't suspect a
dislocation earlier on.
I don't understand the "snatch your shoulder" term. Did he yank your shoulder violently forward and upward since you were holding a reign as he reared?
They've such gangly, lovely beings. So sorry you couldn't work them any more.
Is there another horse farm not too far away that maybe you can visit as a "foal whisper" like being on the other side of the enclosure talking gently to the foal, patting it on the head etc as it gets ready for it's training?
Just a thought, since you miss them so much.
(now I must catch up on First Light's situation)
