Glory be I sat on Rosie! :cloud9: After breaking my leg on August 8, 2009 I finally got back on. Just for a walk but it still felt right! Lots of pain on mounting (scar tissue!!) but then nothing as in no feeling after that. As for weight in my stirrup it will be a while! But did it feel good to sit on my Rosie, if only at a walk, we were out on the XC field so I enjoyed the sunshine and the smell and feel of a horse!

As a sad side note to my happiness it appears i have bone infection and will need more surgery so my riding days will still be limited. :tantrum: Thank god I got on when I could. It was great to see Bodie but boy has he gotten old. He is 20 going on 30 with his cushings! But he still jumped around with Mr G. Once he begins jumping he lites up a little and gets that old gleam in his eye. My dream is to ride and jump him again. Hopefully he can wait for me at this point. Neither of us are getting any younger! :mallet: :lonely:

Keep the jingles coming. :hug: My chin is tilting at his point! Up with that chin I say everyday but everyday seems to bring new challenges. My heese are thriving but I am wilting. Daddy gunnar is on the mend but not enough to come home to my house. My brother is willing and able to care for him in KC MO! Poor Daddy will be miles and miles away but it is for the best. Brother needs $$$ and Daddy needs care. Wish me luck in working all that out! :jingles:


Thanks for caring! :hug:

I had to make this 2 posts because I over-did the emoticons. :teehee:

Daddy and your brother: :luck: :hug: :rose: :yes: :luck:

Jingles to you and sending you big chin-lifting hugs. Hoping this the last and final surgery and all will be permanently fixed and you can get jumping Bodie!

:cheer: :cheer: :clap: :clap: Yay to riding! Hopefully you can continue for at least a little bit. Horses are the best therapy and hopefully the riding can keep you sane with all the other issues going on.

Gunnar, so glad you were able to get back in the tack, even if it will be short lived. Sorry for all the hardship that has come your way. Hugs to the ponies and to you.

My sentiments exactly. Good for the riding, very bad for the bone infection.
