It had been nearly two weeks since my last visit out to see the kids. I finally went out to see them on Sunday. Man, I had been going through withdrawal. It’s hard to explain what it is like. Visiting my horses has always been my sanity check, especially when I’m under a lot of stress. (And if I am not under stress my body seems to try to create enough stress… something about addicted to levels in the brain or something). <\/p>\n
I was really too sick to go out to the barn still. Too sick to spend much time at least. It was so pretty out. Nice and warm. Not a cloud in the sky… So I bundled up and went into their field. Isis and Rajiyyah both nickered when they saw me. Isis lowered her head and butted me a few times, asking me to take the grazing muzzle off of her. (Of course once the muzzle was off she was focused on grazing.)<\/p>\n
Rajiyyah was very sociable. She followed me around and was happy to have her ears and face scratched. She has been wearing a blue Hug turnout rug (by Rider International from Dover Saddlery). It fits her well — not easy to do on a dainty Arabian. She was wearing it and seemed warm and toasty under it. It’s a medium weight turnout rug. It is supposed to breathe and prevent the horse from sweating too much. It seems to be doing a very good job. The blanket still looks brand new, even though she has been wearing it for months. It helps that she doesn’t roll. <\/p>\n
I left the kids in the field and picked out their feet. It felt so good to just be out with them. Isis still look ribby and still has a pot belly. I will be so glad when I can really get back to working her.<\/p>\n
I really hated being sick during a week that was perfect riding weather.<\/p>\n
