Well, I sympathize with all of you talking about lousy weather,
but it
was 65 degrees and the mud was dried up here so I felt obligated to
ride
everything on the place if possible. So, I take my psycho
endurance
horse out to ride with 2 horses he hasn't seen in ages and oops,
brought
the snaffle bit. For five hours I attempted to "use my seat
aids" to
help slow my horse. As a result, I rubbed the hide off my
lower half in
a full seat pattern from my knees all the way up the backs of
my tights
and my rear end. Got in the shower this morning and
thought, OUCH! why
does that sting? So, rather than ride with a saddle
today, I had the
bright idea to ride the Welsh pony for 3.5 hours
bareback. All I can say
was that he lost considerable electrolytes
through his back and that
electrolytes and shedding pony hair working their
way through your tights
to chafed skin is not an enjoyable
experience...especially when you're
bouncing your brains out keeping up
with your daughter who is riding a
darned good endurance horse with a
saddle! The moral is, there are worse
things than being snowed
in.
