On Monday I had a similar 'rawr' day, and headed to the barn... but I knew riding was not going to be productive so I just groomed and hung out with my horse. Maybe I need to try CrossFit to handle my rawr moments!SheMovedtoTexashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01062200290148658096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-5348482583606417962013-03-21T08:41:35.517-04:002013-03-21T08:41:35.517-04:00Yes, it's awesome and has helped my riding so ...Yes, it's awesome and has helped my riding so much! Our gym is probably 40% women. It solves a lot of problems that normal exercise programs have, since you do all your workouts with other people in set class-times, so it's like you have a team, and your trainer tells you what to do every day and helps you with form. It's great for women, because it's not just lifting, it's also gymnastics and running and stuff. It also has really made a difference in my riding, which I blogged about a couple of years ago: http://www.cobjockey.com/2011/07/fitness-matters-or-how-i-improved-my.html I'm in even better shape now, and it continues to pay off in my riding, not just cardiovascularly.

But then there's been dimes where I'm grieving and have just gone and talked to him or st with him and even though I haven't done anything productive with him he makes me feel a lot better.

Tris reads me too well, and my fuse is too short in both cases.<br /><br />Grief, though - he is the perfect height for me to cry on his shoulder, and he is an excellent listener. If I just sit in his stall and watch him it always helps soothe me.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16071037752920853786noreply@blogger.com
