Well, this sort of worked for me the other day. After an exhausting hot 50
at Tule Blues on Gina, went out for a training ride on Jam with friend
Charla. We didn't leave home until 5pm. The temperature was perfect. The
horses felt GOOD. The sunlight coming through the leaves just made it a
perfect ride. Even though we only did 10-11 miles, I felt Jam could have
gone on forever. We did this ride at speed, with lots of cantering, and one
"race"up a hill. All were laughing. It was so theraputic! Of course, then
I got home and felt guilty for going so fast on a horse I am trying to bring
back slowly. "did I check his legs good enough after we got home?" Should
I have used the splint boots?" etc, etc,
Just went out to REALLY check out Jam, and there was no swelling, no
tenderness, no heat. HE WAS JUST FINE. Jam has had a slight bow on the
right front, just above a small splint, and right after that, a suspensory
injury to the left front. Well, HE'S BACK I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER. That ride
is the type I used to have as a kid. Just for fun. Cantering and laughing
with friends.
Charla and I have a "thing" when we get back to the trailers, when things
have gone like that, we say "GOOD RIDE".
Well....Judy...Tina... go have a GOOD RIDE. Worry after.
