Keeping my fingers crossed!


I know I have been so bad and not blogged in a week. BAD BAD BAD ME! I don’t know why I haven’t been writing, just to exhausted from doing nothing. Don’t you hate it when that happens? The last week hasn’t been too crazy, but just crazy enough.

View from the best horse ever!
Things that have been keeping me busy this week have been that I did try riding again last Tuesday. Whenever I do get brave and try to ride again everyone around me is excited to see me in the saddle and glad I am riding. While to them it is all fine and dandy, it’s hard for me to get excited when I know I will be in pain for days after. I want to be able to ride again and more than just 10 minutes and 5 of those 10 are in pain. It just totally stinks, and I don’t know what else to do about it. So my “bright” idea this week is I am just going to try and ride and work with the horses as if nothing is wrong. May be a bit easier said than done, but we will see. And I am sure next week I will be going to see the doctor. However, I want to just see what is going to happen. Will I be in horrible pain the next week, or will it be ok? While I know there is almost always going to be pain to some degree, it would be nice for it not to totally be controlling over what I can/want to do. So be prepared for the week’s progress. I will try and be good and post how it’s going. So for my Monday working with the ponies I lunged a friends horse, while that may sound like a simple task. It was far more complex than just lunging a horse. She has a bit of some issues so I got my good walk in getting pulled around the arena most of the time. As for my back, it’s not too bad. So day one is so far a success! WOO HOO! Tomorrow we might do some lunging and riding! I know I am living life on the edge! Stay tuned for the updates!

Our fire!
This weekend was a fun weekend, some family from Iowa came up to my cousins and we had a fun day. Sat around and ate and had fun conversations. It’s always fun when family gets together that you don’t see very often. We had a great lunch and then sat by the fire for a while. It was perfect weather for it! Much better than a month ago when it was 100+ degrees, a fire would not be much fun. Sunday we got together again for a bit and had fun too!
Stay tuned for fun updates on my horse adventures!
