Prayer warfare

I had a lovely ride today with Kimberly!

We prayed over Dan and for God to heal him :) We found a turtle friend. And Dan was so good with Mellow.

Feral Beast

So... the night of July 4th I was lasering Dan before the fireworks.. well before... 

Pulled a shoe.. didn't ride sun or tues because of that and rain... 

then finally got his fancy shoes, btu has a fat ankle because of a scrape

rode anyways... setting up for the show, so a little on edge.

cantered the first hill in the between damns area on little lake... then good... 

trotted in arena at end and felt sound (but also bareback)

hosed him off and let him graze and he ran away.. luckily only to the edge of the XC field

caroline said he was fat. a sausage!!!!

The Other Side

Dan and I had a good ride today. We beat the heat (mostly) and had a nice quiet relaxing ride. It was peaceful... we went to the part of Ashland that is magical... and healing. I mean, all of Ashland is lovely, but this part.. just feels very healing to me. I had a little meltdown Monday night. But... afterwards... it is well with my soul. Dan and I are going to make it to the other side. I'm trusting that God has my back.... and His timing is impeccable. 

Soooo humid

Except it got better.. nice breeze... storm about to roll through..

had a great ride. Got to ashland and they were working on the sound system so there were tractors everywhere and the speakers kept grunting. Danny was good though. Nice hack... 

then home, he went banananas! Oh dan

More Jumanji

Y'all... 2020 is weird... 


Now we've got Saharan dust storms blowing in....  The skies were bizarre today. But.. we got a nice quick ride in. We met up with Kelli and Marvin and went for our short walk. They were both good. Dan was on a mission and was power walking! When we finished our hack, Kelli took Marvin back into the arena so that we could see him strut his stuff. And Dan was bored so he knocked over the cone. :) Ha ha! Oops. Sorry Lucy!

Then I came home and went and looked at some property. And then... it got black out... the winds came and were intense and then a storm hit. So I'm glad I got to ride earlier in the day. :)

The views weren't great because the skies were so dusty. 

Gods Timing

Well.... Dan and I went for another walk. We were good and only spent 30 minutes out there. But... when we tried to turn around half way through... Dan didn't want to. He kept trying to turn back around and keep going. Me too, buddy... me too. But... we have to make good life chioces and behave so that we can get back to playing. So we turned around and came home. 

But...thinking about it, I had to praise God. I mean... if I'm going to have to rehab my horse... and we can only do short walks for a few months... what better time than now. Looking back, it all kind of fell into place. Covid hit... which meant I took the month off, which meant I was finally able to ride multiple rides in a row repeatedly and figured out that Dan was in fact, broken. Then I had to wait for the vet appointment so I was able to work on the house. And because of Covid, no one else was showing anyways either. Then we had the vet appointment and were told to wait longer. And then my house sold. And now I'm dealing with a ton of stress trying to pack the house up, find a new farm to move to, and work. So if I was trying to ride on top of that... especially if I was trying to show, or get ready for AEC's... that would be too much. Way too much. So, I'm very grateful to God for that. And I'm very grateful that Dan is allowed to trail walk, because... I need that. Oh do I need that! It is my stress reliever...
