[Shirrine]

I had my first ride today since my back completely locked up after a fall. I know this seems a short time to be stressed about being out of the saddle but I was working 4 before this and the show season has arrived. I can walk and canter but the trot hurts. This is good for horse cause my instructor said he needed more canter work. I have 2 weeks before a qualifying dressage comp so I have to get back into the saddle asap. I then leave with the harness ponies for a 2 week show 10 days later. At least they all look great but they do need more work. I have turned the other half into a stable hand. I think he now realises that I do do more than sit at the computer all day.
I then find out that my dog needs a knees reconstruction on Monday.
I know when I am coming into my busy season cause I normally do some thing to myself. Last year I was on crutches.
