Impromptu Vacation?

Last night didn't go as planned..

Henry has had a splint for a few weeks. He hasn't been off and I've been icing it.

Last night he wasn't right. I trotted him a little, tried to ride on softer ground (yeah right, the big outside arena is um yeah) and he didn't feel better so I have decided that he is off for a few days to get everything right.

Hand walking and cold hosing for us! WOOT :) But for real, anything for him- I really love this horse! Gotta get this boy healed up while it's something small!

Cash's Steppin Up and Life of Riley nominated me for the Liebster awards.. since I already did it, I'll be sure to answer their questions:

1. What's your biggest fear as a rider? Making a bad decision as a rider and causing an accident for Henry and myself.
2. Who's your favorite rider and why? I really respect my trainer, she grew up in a riding family but wasn't handed all the perfect made horses. She worked hard and is an amazing horse woman with a wealth of knowledge!
3. What's the most useful piece of advice someone's given you as a horse owner? Go with your gut, you know your horse best.
4. How old were you when you got your first horse? 22, had to buy her myself :)
5. Burghley, Badminton, or Rolex? Rolex
6. Quick, you're trapped on a desert island, what three things do you bring? Food, family and Henry!
7. If you could could have dinner with anyone (alive or dead, famous or not) who would it be? My grandma, I miss her and wish she lived closer.

10. If you could ride any well known horse who would it be and why? Gem Twist
11. Would you rather: Ride without stirrups for the rest of your life OR have one arm tied behind your back at all times? If I was riding Henry, no stirrups... a softer horse, idk :)

1. How long have you owned/leased your horse/s? 7 years owned... leased many times before that
2. If you were going to be trapped on an island with only three things, what would you take? Food, family and Henry!
