On Friday mornings I always have gymnastics at school, and last Friday we were doing balances. I had to stand on someone's knees and lean forward while holding on to their wrists behind my back, I slipped and I fell forward and hit my forehead on thin gym mats. It really hurt and I went home, we went to the doctors. He had a really weird eye light what he used to look at the back off my eye. It turned out to be a mild concussion. He said I couldn't do PE or sports for two whole weeks!! YES no PE. But NO riding, you wish...
No one can stop me riding Sophie, not even a concussion. I let Katie ride her Saturday, but rode again on Sunday I didn't do too much and did a lot of walk to halt transitions. She's finally excepting me and is standing patiently while I get on, she's even walking towards me when I go to get her from the field. Because she coming in her stable at night now and is looking out for hay (which she's getting quite often now the weathers turning.) Sophie looks a little thinner since I got her, it might be all the exercise I'm giving her.
The weather forecast says it's actually going to snow, I hope school gets cancelled so I can ride Sophie while it's still light. Last year school got closed because there was no electricity. At least Sophie wont get cold because she's got loads of rugs on.
I was wondering why you hadn't posted in a while. Ouch, that must have really hurt. Don't do that again! And I am not so sure about you riding if the doctor said not to. Two weeks is not that long to wait. Your brain is much more important! Give it time to heal. You can still learn about riding by watching others ride, watching lessons and clinics if there are any around.
ReplyDeleteMade brownies tonight! US Thanksgiving is Thursday and our sons, Gus 26 and Sam 23 are driving down from Montana. It's unbelievably cold there and snowing as well. As I write the temp there is -20C! So glad we live in Colorado, not Montana.
I have a lesson tomorrow and the highs will be about -2C but there is an indoor so it will be a little warmer inside.
