Barn!

I’m heading out to the barn again. I have to be careful how much I do. I mowed yesterday (manual reel mower — no motor, high grass… lots of work for a postage stamp size yard). Apparently, I twisted my right knee enough that it’s been swollen. I cancelled dance practise today so instead I’m going out to the barn.

On the one hand this doesn’t seem very bright… on the other hand, I’m not going to be putting near as much stress on my knee by doing light riding as I would by doing yard work or by belly dancing…

  • Bliss at the Barn

    Finally! For the first time since I got sick, I worked Rajiyyah. She was full of herself but we made some major advances. We didn’t get to ride, but I did work her in light side reins and the bit. Something spooked her during the workout and she bolted in an arc around the lunge…

  • I rode!

    I rode today! =) Isis and I rode with another person at the barn in the front pasture. It was Isis’ first time there undersaddle. We were both a little nervous. Overall she was good (and would have been better if I had calmed down a little). It was nice to be back on her….
