Ouch indeed!

So I really did a bit of damage with that little slip in the paddock. I tried to ignore it but my body let me know on no uncertain terms that I needed to step back and heal. So I was bed bound... yes bed bound for two days after not listening to my pathetically sore body. Working from my bed, I was in command of the world but not my body. LOL.

So riding is out for the rest of the week at least. My friend Mary will ride for me... thank you Mary... Linda will be out early next week and if I am able I will get back in the saddle but if not, she will tune him up. She rode him for me on Tuesday and she said he was super sound and soft. He really is coming a long way. The other thing she discovered was that her changes were all really good (not croup high) and she thinks it may have something to do with the fact that she did not wear spurs. Could Blu be telling us to shed the hardware? Should our aids be that much softer? I would not be surprised if this is the case. All we have to do is listen. He is talking...

So for now I am left to contemplate the next ride and a plan to get us into the ring this spring... All lovely thoughts to think!
