Oh sure it's all fun and games when you're male... Took a spill from my mare when we were buzzed by a Canada goose. Broke my nose - TWO beautiful shiners and abrasions. Live in a small town, went grocery shopping. Everything got real quiet. At checkout told the cashier "Fell off my horse, broke my nose, husband DOES NOT beat me." Had visions of Social Services showing up at my door...
But I always wear veil and at least a sweatshirt, even though it make me, well, sweat. If nothing else it's worth the three days of NOT scratching. :-D
