I finished chemo on the 8th and have just about enough energy returned to make my target of going to Trailblazers as I promised myself I would do.

Three days after doing the first round Qs I was told I had cancer and I said I would be doing the Working Cob and hairy classes at Trailblazer - something to aim for.

Well, I managed to do the 2nd round Qs, nearly caused divorce with my OH as I have fluid round the heart and puff like an old pair of bellows when I do more than a gentle walk and he was so worried about me. TB gave me a wild card entry to the finals for the Working Cob as due to the surgery, I was not able to jump until a few weeks ago which I am very grateful to them for.

So if anyone is at TB and see a now very overweight and bald small middle aged woman puffing along on a dark bay skewald hairy, please say hello and wish me luck - I am very weak in my legs, the drugs screw up your muscles, 1 1/2 stone heavier than I started chemo with (feel so so fat) and need all the luck I can have to stay on round the jumps and still breath, let alone cantering and galloping.

Stinky will hopefully look after me and I managed to stay on and complete the classes which are the hairy inhand and ridden coloureds and the working cob.

OH is coming to look after me (keep an eye on me and stop me over doing things), do the tent and cooking and young Alice is coming to look after Stinky and if I am too weak, she can ride him the second day HC. All I have to is get dressed and ride in the ring so am saving all my energy for that.
 
Good luck hun!!! You have such determination, you're amazing.......just make sure that grit and determination doesn't mean that you don't look after yourself (although I'm sure OH will make sure of that ;))

Got all my fingers and toes crossed and Zoomy has her hooves crossed! xxxxxx
 
What an amazing lady you really are! You're an inspiration to everyone.
Good luck and you should be very, very proud of yourself.
Sending you all the vibes I can get together!!

sending you all my good vibes - a lot coming your way ! I'm sure Stinky will look after you perfectly. Good luck (((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))) Shy and Shysmum xx
 
wow, what an inspiration you are!! wishing you the very best of luck and a million vibes coming your way. :D
 
erm, you forgot to mention photography in your OH's list of jobs. We need lots of pics of stinky :D

best of luck and most of all hope you have a really good time and enjoy it.
 
I don't know you and feel poorer for that. You sound very determined and inspiring. I will be telling my friend (who is also an inspiring lady after recovering from breast cancer) about you so would love an update on the forum of how you went. She is now training to be a chiropractor:)

I did Trailblazers a couple of years ago and loved every minute of it. Cried lots when my wee pony came 7th in dressage - so proud.:o

I really really hope you have a wonderful time - just remember to rest so you can enjoy the important bits.
 
All the very best of luck my luv, more importantly just have a lovely enjoyable day with your horse. :)

pics are must however....so don't forget!
 
Good luck to you and Stinky. You have got a great back up team behind you and I really hope you have lots and lots of fun.

Go Team Stinky!!!

xx
 
Crikey! You are one AMAZING lady! Massive amounts of good luck vibes.

Have a whale of a time but don't overdo things. xxx
 
Thanks to you all. I have promised OH not to do too much - I do have fluid round the heart (probably due to not taking things as easy as I could:o) and this acts as a handbrake - if I do too much too fast, I have breathing problems.

I am so looking forward to getting there, and really hope that I can do all the classes both days, but have accepted that I might not be able to.

Will let you all know how we get on and put some pics of me - I do look like a little Buddah on horseback at the moment:D
