Getting kicked in the head by my Grandad’s stallion

I was riding my dad’s horse and leading my horse while mustering cattle from my grandad’s property to my dad’s property. On the way to my dad’s property we came across a stallion and my brother was leading a mare that was on season. I got off my horse to try to save my horse from getting killed by the stallion. While I was saving him I was whipping the stallion on the backside and then he tried to kick my horse. However instead of the stallion kicking my horse, he kicked me instead in the head. I woke up after about 5 seconds and luckily Dad rang at the right time. I gave my phone to my brother and he couldn’t hear him, so I had to take over and ask him to come pick me up. I had to walk 5km to get to where he could come and get me. When I got to the hospital the doctor said that I could die tonight if I didn’t stay awake for the whole night. The bad thing was that I had stayed awake until 1am the night before. However, I lived which was the main thing. My facial surgeon said that my jaw could come out at any moment. So I couldn’t do any physical activity for 2 months. Straight after the 2 months I had a 20km fun run to compete in. I came second in my age group and 10th in the whole race out of 37 people.
