Kind of decided Eff it. I’m tired of being scared. And got on the damn horse.
It was the week after Prim passed away, and I was so upset. And so tired of my loss of confidence stopping me from riding.
If there’s one thing Prim did do for me this year, it was bring back my confidence.
Not perfect, but enough.
I think/hope Arwen is back. After two years of not riding her. I’ve been scared of this horse for years. She’s always bucked. Buttt, I always wondered if saddle fit was the reason. She is metabolic and carries all her extra fat in her shoulders/withers so any time a saddle was on her it would squeeze really bad. I’ve been really diligent the past year and a half keeping her on a low sugar diet, and the fat pockets finally went away. After years of having them! I threw a saddle on her a month ago and rode her for the first time in two years. Nothing.
Rode her today after sitting for a month… not once did she even consider it.
I’m REALLY hoping this is it, and I can finally have her as my riding horse. Something I’ve wanted for years 🥹
