Heya :)

Do you have your own horses?

I suffered from riding withdrawals when i bought lorenzo. He had only just turned 18 months so it was loooooong wait til i was back in the saddle again.

Then I got sick!! So he was turned out for 7-8 months (which is why he's still so green now) and ive only really been back in the saddle properly for the last few months. But Im loving it :)

And its great talking horses with you, too!

I had Jay, my Appy/TB for ten years before losing him last fall. My mom's horse, Chance (in my photo) is of course available to me anytime (note the occasional weekend). After Jay I decided to go to college and get my education before buying another horse. I have worked at several barns and was a barn manager before coming to school (note the horses 24/7 comment). I still go home occasionally to ride and visit with the horses but it's a knock after seeing them everyday.

I am very sorry to hear that you got sick! Taking your time is definitely on your side though. Everything happens for a reason (as corny as that sounds) and now you and Lorenzo have a whole career in front of you!

Awww, I'm so sorry to hear that you lost Jay - you must have been devastated! But at least you still have access to horses, I understand its not the same as having a special bond with your own horse though.

Thanks Barnmice ;)
Thank you. I still miss him everyday, but honestly, I dont' feel as though he is gone. It sounds hokey, and I miss his physical presence, but I still feel a connection. It's nice to 'play horse' once in awhile. I imagine I'll dive back in sooner or later.
