So this is a horrible photo but it is all I have. Taking pictures in the indoor barn is a difficult thing that some day I will master. For now I am just glad I mastered getting back on a horse. It isn't that I wasn't ever getting back on I just was in no hurry to get back on. Usually the first thing you make someone do when they fall off or get bucked off a horse is to get back on. I understand why we do that now. Do to my injuries that was not an option. So 11 weeks later I felt like myself again. Saturday morning I got up and thought I can either avoid the arena or I can get up get ready and go ride a horse. With all of the rain and cold a person can feel down and depressed, this is how I was feeling. In the past when I have felt like this a good horse ride soothed the soul. Though, short and sweet the ride did the trick, I feel like a million bucks. It is amazing how good it feels to ride a horse again. I am a lot more cautious than a few weeks ago and definitely picky about who I ride. In fact, I informed Dan he either needed to buy him a new horse or find me a new one because 4 of us could not ride the same horse. So here is to being back in the saddle again.

Lisa - I'm so proud of you! Not that I ever doubted that you would climb back on but it still takes some nerve. If I hear of any horses for sale I will be sure to let you know - I don't want Dan to have to start walking while the rest of you ride; ). Thanks for the great example.
I have to say I was impressed when I walked in and saw you on the horse. I think it would take me a little longer to jump back on. Good for you!!
Good for you!!!!
