Unfortunatelly this was disasterous activity. I have made it clear to the guide I am beginner and I expected him to be by my side to keep an eye on me. I never blame the horse and there are always risks. However the guide speaking good English (he spoke very little) and staying closer to me (instead being far away from me) is what might have prevented my injury from happening. 20 minutes or so away from the stable my horse got spooked and I fell off. Unfortunatelly I crashed with my whole bodyweight on my shoulder on the concrete ground. I fractured my shoulder bone so bad it was cut in 2 halv
