Secondly, more earth-shattering news ahead.
I rode my horse.
At a walk.
IT. WAS. GREAT.
Heres another pic of my horse standing there being adorable as fuck |
He felt really great actually. Quite forward and chipper. It was almost like he was happy to be back at work again. I am giddy that hes "back at it" WAY before expected.
I will admit that I couldn't resist asking for a little bit of trot. It too felt better than I expected, but far from great. I can definitely tell he's lost some muscle and he is extremely on the forehand. Like, really on the forehand. I can't blame the horse, his back feet have been killing him for weeks. But I think we are out of the woods and in the clear (s/o to TSwift) & just need to get back in shape.
I'm not going to go out and sign up for a bajillion fall shows, but I am excited to slowly rebuild our muscle together and heal.
Partners who heal together stay together.
Happy ears |
Lol at how small that saddle is for me. I was also wearing my new Piper breeches and have a few words to say about them. Look forward to a product review on them!
Speaking of words, My bad luck seems to be running away with me because my BRAND NEW Fitbit fell off while I was riding at the fucking walk and got absolutely destroyed by a vehicle.
Seriously? Like, really? |

Oh yay we can do the build up muscle routine together. I am almost afraid to say it but I think Steady is ready to use all four feet again!
ReplyDeleteMy MIL lost her Fitbit in the first week bc it fell off. Appareny they sell these bands they advise you put over the snap. Not okay in my book.
ReplyDeleteI'm considering getting a misfit because they're like 30 bucks and have a buckle. I have a jawbone up right now and while it doesn't fall off the place where it overlaps catches on everything.
ReplyDeleteI had one of those and loved it minus the fact that it was always malfunctioning. I went through 3 before I gave up
DeleteYay for a walk! Sorry to hear about your fit bit, that sucks.
ReplyDeleteWell that sucks about the Fitbit!! I hope they will replace it. :\ I'm glad you're back in the saddle! I love your saying that those who heal together, stay together. :D
ReplyDeleteWoohooo! Welcome back!
ReplyDeleteHopefully those "few words" about the Pipers are good words :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I totally feel you on looking forward to a walking hack....I'm right there myself. TOMORROW I WILL RIDE ROGER AT THE WALK AND IT WILL BE JOYOUS.
Anyways, welcome back!
