I think my problem is that I need to stop complaining and just be grateful for the second chance at horses that life has thrown my way. And accept that I'm not going to immediately be a super-awesome does-everything rider after 5+ years of city living.<br /><br />Mugs, you are an inspiration. I look forward to reading each new post.

We can get down the trail with minimal issues, and she'll eventually do anything I ask of her, but I know there are gaping holes that are going to come back to bite me.

You're a pioneer in this one, but I have faith that you'll work something out and let us know how it happened.<br /><br />The only thing that stops me from doing everything I want is pain and poor planning. Like, on good days when I get up feeling good, I shouldn't go till the garden for two hours before I plan on riding. And then, I have to practice old lady riding. I'm really hoping you'll do a few chapters on that. <br /><br />Becky, Becky, first you try to eat your kids, now you try to sell them.

I say I haven't had time, but I know that I am liar too. I've been sitting here feeling sorry for myself over nothing. I don't have PD, or any other debilitating disease, I've just been in a funk, worrying about money, feeling sorry for myself because I have to go to a job I hate just so that I can almost pay the bills. I used to make time to ride...so why am I not now? I don't know, but if you can stand up and kick some ass, with all that you have to face....Maybe I can too. <br /><br />You are an inspiration.
