I wish I was riding more, but I recognize the body often benefits from a break so I am riding when I can and hoping that my horse will be rested and ready when my schedule allows more saddle time.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335385366138424092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963277636652034473.post-49622240627107154492011-10-05T12:14:35.156-07:002011-10-05T12:14:35.156-07:00When I'm stressed and can't sleep, I can l...When I'm stressed and can't sleep, I can literally put myself to sleep by imagining myself cantering bareback.

That mare helped me keep my sanity while I was in school!<br /><br />Granted, I paid more for her board those years than I did for my own rent...but then, her food was included in the board money and her "apartment" got cleaned every day! <br /><br />Also, her stall was slightly bigger than the travel trailer I lived in while I was going to school....!<br /><br />WV: subclop<br />That sound you can hear while you're driving down the road and imagining that you're riding down the median, the "subclop" of your horse's hooves.AareneXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18072169739345465380noreply@blogger.com
