The past week has been relatively quiet. We had a break in the winter weather that both the horses and I have been enjoying, but I haven't felt up to working with them. My whiplash from falling on the ice is almost completely resolved, and I'm slowly getting back to where I was prior to that. It has been a routine of getting through the work day and vestibular therapy, mucking stalls, grooming if I have the energy, sleeping as much as possible, rinse, repeat. While it's not exciting, I appreciate the quiet moments spent grooming them loose in their stalls (and with the mud, there's plenty of grooming to do).

| It was so warm last night (high of 65F!) that Missy was sweating in her stall. |

I'm glad things have been uneventful for you!! Missy looks so pleased to have been able to wallow without a blanket.
ReplyDeleteMud is her preferred art media, and she's a master. 😉 During the summer she has to be in a UV protective fly sheet since all that pink skin will burn, but she gets to enjoy a good wallow when the sun is less direct.
DeleteI feel like the quick recovery from the ice fall is testament to the careful recovery work you’re doing! And glad y’all are going a reprieve from the intense arctic nonsense too!
ReplyDeleteYes, thank goodness. We're all just out here doing our best for our horses. ðŸ«
DeleteYou know, sometimes uneventful is wonderful! It's the middle of a pretty brutal winter. Nothing wrong with getting to have a little rest for you AND the horses. Plenty of time to get at it when the weather is better and you're feeling good!
