I think you forgot that I just had a baby and that this is my 5th ride back.
Just kidding.. kinda ;)
Thursday I went out in the am for a hack... flatted around and then before I knew it, trainer was having my jump a little vertical and working on keeping Henry straight (and a smooth lead change at the right spot) ALL.THE.WAY down the center of our gigantic arena. Don't get me wrong, I was up for the challenge and did everything she asked without a peep...
Incase you are new here, Henry is strong- so strong. We have used a million bits and nothing gets him off your hands but lots of stopping and backing up and eve with that he is still just a strong horse.
My calfs, back, shoulders and ok well my whole body is sore! What was supposed to be a nice 30 min hack turned into an hour and 20 min hard ride... GO ME!
It felt great at the time ha!
BUT I am so happy to be back riding and love that I am not scared or feel like I am going to die this time around :)
Friday Henry had a trainer ride... He was good and I caught the tail end of it :)
Turn out Sat and Sun and then back to work for us both Monday :)
Lol your body must be screaming, but good for you! I'm amazed how fast you are back to riding, an inspiration for many I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteYeah I was sooooore! I am determined to get back in action :)
DeleteIt is amazing how quickly you are back in the tack. Well done you, I deff couldn't manage an hour and 20 minutes lesson & I haven't had a baby recently!
ReplyDeleteHaha thanks girl!! My trainer is hard core lol

DeleteYou go! I can't imagine what that will be like, but I hope someday that I have that same motive to get right back up there and go!
ReplyDeleteIt's all about what you want and how much you are willing to push yourself :)
