And Hell Hath Frozen Over!

So, I haven't been on my pony since oh, say, MARCH!

I've been way too busy with school, and work, and kids, and my boyfriend to even think about getting to the farm. Yes, for the first time since I started riding, I haven't even been out to the barn for a matter of months. Sad, huh?

The last time I was out of the saddle this long I had good reason - my son. I was pregnant, and I couldn't ride because I was on blood thinners. It wasn't the riding that was the problem. It was the possibility of bleeding to death if I fell that sealed that deal. My friend stepped in to ride for me, and it was an amazing summer.

This time I let the blonde go out and show with my trainer. They did Regionals. They did Canadian Nationals. They did very well. I watched from the sidelines.

I rode again today. Even months later, the barn is exactly as I left it. There's something comforting in that thought.
