I have been enjoying the comments good bad and indifferent about pain and how
to deal with it. It is a proven fact that we can tolerate more pain if we are
the one inflicting it. We know our bodies. We've lived with us since inception!
A freind resently told me I was nuts for riding when I had just gotten shots for
bersitis(spelling!). I felt great after riding because my mind was happy
therefore my body could be dealt with. People around us all have opinions and
advise but sometimes they should keep their thoughts to themselves. I knew I
wasn't in danger of hurting myself or my horses. I was under the influence of
pain!!!not drugs. My mind needed my Arab under me to feel good. The moral to the
story is if it feels good do IT. Who knows you better than you?REGGIE
