At least it doesn’t hurt when I ride… December 5, 2007

I’m almost recovered from the half-marathon.  I feel completely rested and am starting to get twitchy again from not running.  BUT, I seem to have bruised my right foot somethin’ fierce.  I’m a little concerned because it’s not getting better. It hurts when I get up, it hurts when I go to bed.  The good news is that it only hurts when I walk, not when I ride…

So I had a great ride on Ray today.  It was not raining, for one thing. But he’s been off for a week again, so I was expecting a little tension.  Nope, he was a good boy.  Calm, quiet, and willing.  I love this horse.

We worked on bending and counter-bending on a circle, and then changing the bend on the circle and through changes of rein.  I tried to focus on stretching through my ride side, which tends to collapse.  Of course, through all this you need to keep your hips loose, your leg firm, your hands steady, release the inside rein, and not fall off.  :-)

Tomorrow I’m going to try and schedule a doctor appointment to look at my foot. Something just isn’t right there.
