Ta hun. If I drank I think I'd give up and just live in the bottom of a bottle
Woke up and had a moment of not remembering, then did remember and wished I hadn't.
Trying to get the tears out of the way before a day of many meetings. I think Kleenex are in the car.
I wanted to go and see her this morning, but I think that if I did I would not have coped with the day. She'll be confused because I'd started riding every morning before work - she'd be all sleepy when I got there, but soon woke up. Piaffing and producing a rather nifty passage, straight line walks not being in her vocabulary until she's settled.
Yesterday she was grumpy and hurting but I can't give her any Bute until I know when she's going to Newmarket
She can be a cow at the best of times without work/handling, so it's going to be an interesting time.
I know it's not a dream. I hate feeling like this, I just want to have a 'normal' time and, like everyone who has a broken or ill horse will know, I want to be working out which show jumping classes we're going to do, and go for a gallop and feel her beneath me, listening and running and enjoying herself. Friend said yesterday to call any time (she has, as ever, been a rock), but I want to call her to arrange long hacks and going to cross-country meets, not to cry down the phone.
So sorry to go on. Brain needs to get into gear. Thank you hun.
Not even going to attempt to say something trite like it will all work out (OH said that to me a few weeks ago and lost at least 2 layers of skin from the verbal flaying!)
I shall just say everything crossed that all of us with broken horses at the moment get to enjoy that feeling of just doing "normal" again.
Mrs M and all who have broken horses.
My thoughts are with you all - I know how it feels and its hell.
My fingers and everything else is crossed for a successful outcome for all of you.
Mrs M - if you want a chat PM me anytime.
Mrs M I feel your pain soooo much. I am so so sorry and everything is firmly crossed for the dizzy one.
I just to come a give you a great big hug {{{{HUG}}}}
MrsM know your pain and you have been a massive support to me as I battle with my two broken boys. I too would give anything for a 'normal' time with the horses and to be planning hacks, competitions and schooling sessions...
If you ever need some support or someone to talk to please let me know - those of us battling these hard times can support each other.
Be strong for your Dizzy one and others will be strong for you - I know there are no words I can say to make things better for you but wishing you all my support and hugs, keeping everything crossed and whispering a prayer for you.
Mrs M, just caught up with yesterdays post. Don't know you personally but everything I have ever read from you on here, you come across as the most thoughtful and caring person, always ready to offer help and advice to others and totally besotted by The Dizz. I am so sorry to hear your news, you truly don't deserve this. Along with everyone else, I have everything it is possible to cross, firmly crossed and will stay like that for as long as you need (might make working and riding tricky, but needs must). I'm sure you will keep us updated,heres hoping for the best possible outcome for you both, x

Ditto this.......it truly is a bag of shite. Been there. Its crap.
Oh Mrs M........... I feel your pain.
I too have had a crap year so know where you are coming from but hang on in there. There is light at the end of that awful long dark tunnel, believe me.
I have managed to find a new interest in flyball with my dogs which has really helped me. is there any new thing you could try. It is very difficult to motivate yourself at first but once you take that first step it truly does become a bit easier.
Don't know where you are but if near enough I'll gladly meet up and have a coffee or something and offer a very good shoulder. we could compare notes.
Thinking of you and here for you should you want a chat.
I'm thinking of you both and sending ((((hugs)))) and <<<<vibes>>>> for you both. Also got everything crossed the news from Newmarket isn't as bad as you fear
