Maybe if I'd rolled off instead of launched off, things would have ended differently. Perhaps if my fall had been distributed over multiple points of impact instead of all my weight onto one bone, it wouldn’t have broken.
If I’d kept my lower leg solidly in place over the fence I’d most likely have been in a better position to stay on. And if I had added the stride instead of pushing my horse Kingston off the ground from a long spot, he wouldn’t have felt the need to do his signature duck-prop-buck move in protest of my amateur-ness.
