No horse time for me

I haven't had hardly any pony time and I can tell.

Mothers Day weekend DH and I drove to KS and bought a new truck! I'm happy to finally have something that a) I don't have to worry about the motor falling out and b) something that is actually big enough to pully my ponies safely.

I'm hoping this one last me a LONG time!



DH got me two new leather halters for Mothers Day. I've been wanting them and was very happy that he'd actually listed. Later on in the day I started not feeling well.

I felt cruddy most of last week and went to the Dr. to be told I had a rib out??? Ummm how'd that happen? Didn't get much riding done since I wasn't feeling hot. Sat. I tried to ride but learned real fast that it wasn't a good idea. I paid for it later that night.

I still wasn't feeling well at the beginning of this week so went back. Had to see a different Doc & was told that it might be a blot clot vs. a rib. Took x-rays, got script and then was told everything was fine on the x-ray.

Tues. I wanted to test drive the truck so I took MIL to drill practice (only the 2nd one I've been to). I took Lu to stand at the trailer. She managed to get loose while we were there so I let her eat grass on the line next to me. When they were all done I decided to hop on. Again - bad idea!

Went back to Dr. today (this time my normal one). He manipulated my back and then told me he thought it was muscle. I felt worse coming out then I did going in. He gave me more drugs a told me to come back if I didn't feel better.

We have our first show this weekend. Chase is not prepared at all. If I take a horse it will be to stand at the trailer but I won't be riding. I feel like I'm so far behind though!

Here are a few pics from last Sat.

Lu dressed in her english gear. My saddle was at home & I was too lazy to go home & get it so rode english w/halter (yes I know the saddle is too far forward).



Cat pissed off that she got left.
