When you can't ride on weekends?

Had a really busy weekend what with Christmas shopping, yard crimbo do and flying about all over the place which meant I only having time to do the chores/muck out etc, but I hate not being able to hack out on weekends when you school during the week, it gives you and your horse a chance to de-stress and unwind etc, I felt like I had my whole weekend routine ruined just because of blooding Christmas!!!

I nearly burst into tears on my way back from the yard like a spoilt 10yr child just because I couldn't ride

Do I need to see a man in white coat

or are there more of me?

I am the same, I'm revising for an exam and didn't hack out all weekend and I have a study day today so still no riding out.... grrrrr.

Men in white coats here we come!!!

 

[Hippona]

Oh yes...me too.

I hate this time of year- there simply isnt enough daylight ...and theres too much blood rain

...

I get in a pathetic childish mood if I cant ride.....I managed to get out both days this weekend....only for about 40mins each day but enough to test out my new prolite pad (its fab) and stop me winging like a boring old git.

No. Mainly because I don't get chance to ride in the week, so make darn sure nothing gets in the way of me riding at the weekend - well, apart from torrential rain.

my husband knows when i haven't been out riding for a while - my mood gets darker and darker until he says ' i'll look after the kids for a while if you want to go out riding'. and believe me he doesn't like baby sitting! i need to get out just to de-stress! and no i haven't been out much last week cause of xmas shopping - i'll make up for it this week

 

[MrsMozart]

Hm. Not having hacked out for about three months now...

I think I've just become numb.

But, Daughter has said I may borrow Little Cob to go out with Friend and Wimbles

. This is very sweet of her as she hasn't hacked out from the new place yet. Dizz isn't fit enough and to be honest, I don't know if I'll be brave enough on her

We'll be alright at walk, but anything more than that.... whereas I used to sit quite happily on her faffingness, I don't know if I'll be able to do it now

Sorry, that became a bit of a mini-me moment!

In short hun, I feel your pain

Don't worry - you are not alone.

Any day I can't ride is a waste of a day IMO.

I was on holiday last week and had a hair appointment on Wednesday. It takes about 3 hours to do my hair and I was gutted that it was a nice day and I was stuck indoors.

I certainly get miffed if i cant ride, but have taken the decision to turn D away for the winter due to the weather. He gets freaked out by bad weather, so no point scaring him and setting him back for the sake of an hour plus I havent ridden in over a month anyway.

You're not alone, could probably fill a ward in a suitable institution for us all! I too feel very odd if I can't get out hacking regularly, great therapy and de-stresser.
