Taking Time for Me!

I’m going to post a general post here about my weekend and then I’ll post two more detailed ones for those who want a novel.

I decided earlier this year that I was going to put myself first this year.

I would be able to say “no” when someone asked for help.
I would make DH, Chase, and MIL responsible for their own horses.
I would ride my own horses.

So far I’ve done a good job at the first two. I’ve said no a lot this year! I must admit, it feels really weird! I’ve also kept myself from riding Black and told DH that he was responsible for her “entire” care from pasture management to deciding what and how much to feed her and her hoofcare. Even after doing all of this, I was still finding it difficult to get the third one accomplished in a consistent manner.

I HATE asking for things, but I finally broke down and asked Mona if I could keep my horses at her barn for the weekend so I could use her arena. Of course she said yes so Thursday I hauled them over. The plan was to take them Fri., Sat., Sun. so I could get 3 consistent days in on them. It was Thurs. and DH was in a good mood so I jumped at the extra day.

The next two post will detail how things went with each horse.
