You've just given me flashbacks to my first pony, who hated to be loaded into a trailer and also viewed it as a game when you tried to catch him in the pasture. No broken legs, but a friend managed to break a rib or two while helping me try to catch him. (Imagine a three rail fence where the bottom rail had been removed and was on the ground, the middle rail was missing entirely and the top rail -- which was also removable -- was in place to block the gap in the fence. Friend was on a tiny pony she used for Pony Club gymkhana trying to help me corral my pony. Her pony bolts under the top rail, which hits my friend in the chest and knocks her onto the ground where on her back on top of the other pole. It's amazing she wasn't more seriously hurt.)
