Saturday, March 7, 2009

I went out to meet my friend Madeline at her barn today. Got to see her new horse (and he's gorgeous!), watch her take a lesson, meet her trainer, etc. I really liked it out there and miss riding so much! I went out there because I think I'm going to start riding over there when I can get back to riding again. I really liked the trainer, and it's a low-key adult (non-show) barn, which will be perfect for me. Goodness I can't wait!

I've been getting going getting Becky and Jo working again. Jo is happy as can be being worked again. She loves the attention and I think she likes having a job with me again too. I've been bringing her out to longe her and you'd think I was bringing her out to pamper her and give her treats. She's the happiest working horse I've ever seen for sure! Sure makes me miss riding her. Becky is quite the difficult one to work with right now. She's gotten very content just hanging out in the pasture, since that's pretty much all she's ever done, and doesn't want to start learning a work ethic now by any stretch of the imagination! It will be fun to start getting on her to get her going!

Feeling pretty good lately, I guess with all things considered. It's definitely getting more and more uncomfortable now. I have very few minutes of the day where I'm not uncomfortable. No swelling, but lots of bach aches and I swear the underside of my right ribs are bruised from him cramming himself up there constantly! Very difficult to sleep at night too. I'm apparently always "gasping" for breath, per Thomas, and wake up constantly to move since I just can't get comfortable. I feel like a walking zombie already and he's not even here yet!
