Kjia rode a bucking horse May 9

Kjia was having a great day. Parade, horse show, friends, candy, and it all came to a halt in 8 seconds. She had been riding Rickoshe' for about 3 hours. She did her slow events and then did the poles. She had a good time on the poles but her dad wanted her to ride with her spurs. She didn't want to, but didn't argue with her dad. She ran the barrels and was headed home from the 3rd barrel. She hit Rickoshe' with her spurs and he started a bucking. We forgot how bad he hated spurs. He threw Kjia in the air and she came down on the swells of the saddle. She dropped the reins and he bucked again throwing her off like a rag doll. She laid there in the arena and Jeremy grabbed the horse so I could help with Kjia. Shane was at the trailer changing saddles so he could run the barrels on Brigham. Kjia was in pain but was able to walk out of the arena. There were alot of people and friends there. The ambulance and EMT's came running over fences and ambulance sirens on to help with Kjia. These pictures are the next day when I finally took her in, and they said she has a broken collarbone. She has lots of scrapes and bruises. She is a trooper though and wanted to get back on her horse. She will be off of everything for a while which is terrible but we will manage.
