Shivery
The barn owners called me last night. Apparently Rajiyyah was shivering last night from the cold. Poor kid. She is not used to the weather in Tennessee yet. I’m heading out now to try a blanket on her and buy her a new one if she needs it.

Gym and not riding
A “perk” of the apartment complex where I live. Half of the machines look um… well used, so I won’t touch them, but the elliptical machine and the treadmills are fine. Yesterday, I started an actual workout program and went to the gym by myself for the First Time Ever. It might not sound like…
