Well this past week has been one for the record books! I don't think I've been in a greater, and more continuous, variety of pain in my life. First, there was the 5-hour stint in the Emergency Room (thanks, ruptured ovarian cyst), then a riding lesson that I was physically ill-equipped for and finally, over an hour in the saddle today. Eek! Of course, except for the cyst thing, it was all worth it!
My lesson went better than I could have imagined! I didn't get to ride the horse I had wanted to, but I DID get another Thoroughbred named Bijou. She was WONDERFUL! It was something else to be on a horse who was so settled and steady that I could totally concentrate on my position. My instructor said that whatever my riding background has been it's made me a "pretty strong" rider. I told her if she met my horse, she'd understand, haha.
That being said, I took Rapper on a trail ride today and I have to say, no fancy Thoroughbred hunter can compete with my boy! He's so comfy and so spirited - I wouldn't trade him for anything!
PS: I'm having a model horse renaissance! Check out the new ones!
