    riding after injury

    That really is a very good idea. I will definitely do that. How long did it take before you could muck out and poo pick and dare I say , given the all clear to ride again?

    Ever feel like giving up....

    Been thinking this myself after a bad injury falling off a horse has forced me to be grounded. It can be so hard especially in winter and so expensive , but just cant imagine life without them.
