So at this time I am completely back to previous activites, (trail riding, the gym, etc). It feels really good!! I have found that I have much better balance than before and I am sure Storm is appreciating that. Now I also can catch up on all of the chores that I have been remiss in taking care of.  The arena and tack room are first. We had a major water leak from the roof on the tack room side, which was fixed recently so I feel comfortable fixing the insulation that has come loose. The arena is going to get turned up and moved about , I have been doing so much riding outside that it has really taken a back seat.

Haven't had a  chance to blog in a while, so I thought I would take a few minutes now. Surgery was very sucessfull, I am back to full use of all my body parts.  I haven't ridden yet, however.  I am now just getting Storm used to the saddle and pad again.  I have been doing a lot of on line and liberty, riding won't be too far behind.

 

As far as the farm goes, the horses are happily grazing on grass. With all the rain the grass has been able to come back up again and really be green.

I was lucky enough today to see some of the level 3 clinic with Jesse Peters( 3 star Parelli instructor).  It always amazes me how our body language determines how our horses react. Some times just a subtle movement can mean different things that get different reactions.  I was a little sad that I wasn't riding, but in retrospect it was probably a good thing.  I got to see some solid level 3 at liberty, on line and free style and came home with some great ideas.  As usual Jesse was very inspiring and honest.

It has been awhile since I have posted anything.  This is due to the fact that I wasn't able to be the partner my horse needed  me to be.  I was in  much pain from a degenerative hip problem and could hardly walk. I had my hip replaced on May 9th and feel wonderful.  Hopefully there will be many interesting things for me to chat about now.  Storm and I are basically starting over, he lost all confidence in me as a leader as I wasn't there for him. My RBE needs consistancy and I need to approach him like I am on valium (very hard to do when I too am a RBE).
