@Cratchit yes rising trot is posting trot. I'm so glad you ask about the emotional side of being back on. Yes, I have experienced many of those feelings. The night before my first ride I was scared. I'm still anxious about going out on trail, going to do a very small trail ride tomorrow with a friend and her dead broke horse. I hope I can sit a spook or two. When I first went back I had the worry "if I come off and get hurt it will be such a setback, I'm not sure I could cope with having to heal again". Those feelings have subsided but there is something under the surface closer to the surface than before that this sport can be dangerous.
This week I think I've overdone it. My knees have been achy since last night. I took some Tramadol and Tylenol tonight so hopefully I'll sleep well. It is my hamstrings that are cranky behind my knees. The knees proper are quite fine. I hope your electrocutions stop soon! I've only had a few of those and they are shocking!
Happy 4th of July Independance and retirement day!!!!! I love being retired and getting to choose how I spend my time.. do you think you will go back to work before retiring? I hope you will start riding it is great therapy for the mind, body and soul!
It's good to know your holding your own on this long and twisting journey! It was good to hear from you!!!
