Peteyfoozer’s Journey (because journaling’s not enough)

[peteyfoozer]

I did it! I made it to the corral with Boone’s help. I whistled Mister in, tied him up, brushed him off and got Randy to saddle him which was no small thing, with no room to move, several inches of dust on everything etc. I rode him around the pasture in tears, because it felt so amazing to be up there again. The old man is moving off pretty sound for 30. The dogs all played tag and wrestled then Boone suddenly realized where I was. I haven’t ridden since he came I don’t think. He was going to rescue me but I talked him out of it. That would not have gone down well.
I’m resting up today but just knowing I can get out there now and build my strength back.

That's awesome! I'm so happy for you!

There is something very therapeutic about riding a horse. SO GLAD you got to ride a bit. Hope you can do that more often.

Taking a break today because of my activities yesterday. Not in nearly as much pain as we expected so thankful for that. I was watching.Boone play with Gizmo last night. What an incredibly kind creature he is! she climbs up his back and abuses him. She snarls and takes things away, and he enjoys playing with her and he’s just kind and good. He drags the long squeaky snake outside , with her firmly gripping the other end. He lets her win a lot, letting go and flopping over on his back.
I wanted to let Mister in the yard to graze. He (Boone) was playing. When I called him. And said “boone help me, I need your help” He came and positioned himself and steadied me several times, he waited in the corral while I put fly stuff on my horse, and he escorted me back to the deck then lwft me there to go back to playing. He’s so dependable and so effective and willing, it kills me that I can’t use him for public access anymore.
