Hi, Carol!!

Sorry it took me a while to respond. I caught a horrific cold (not COVID, thank God) while at the hospital having tests several week ago. I'm only now beginning to recover.

What a wonderful and truly useful epiphany you had! Half-halts are definitely a path to a more balanced and collected trot, and a steadier, more controlled trot is better for both Pumba and you. Hooray!!! Definitely keep at it.

I certainly understand some proficiencies and training intentions falling by the wayside after an accident like yours. I admire you greatly for continuing to ride and, beyond that, continuing to push yourself. Many people would simply have given up. You are a true equestrienne!

I hope the rest of your life is going well and that you have something fun planned for this Spring or Summer (perhaps a wee trip). 

Warm wishes and great riding!

A. XOXOXOXOXOX  

I'd like to be having Thanksgiving dinner with these folks. Nice choice of artwork! 

I hope you and your son have a very happy Thanksgiving, Carol.

XOXOXOXOX A.

Merry Christmas, Carol!!

I hope you and your son had a lovely, festive day. Judging by your yummy Thanksgiving dinner, I bet it was also a delicious Christmas!  My Christmas day fare was a mini loaf of cranberry bread a close friend sent me. Hahaha! I ate it throughout the day with milk. Not very healthy, but very scrumptious!
