Thanks for the words of encouragement, Carol. I dread to think what rights and benefits may be reduced or taken away in the next 4 years.
I'm so glad you're still able to ride! It's been enough years away from horses for me that I'm forgetting exactly how wonderful it feels to be in the saddle and work in partnership with your horse. I kind of live vicariously through you now. I hope next year's riding is better every lesson.
Your Christmas dinner sounded yummy! The whole day sounds peaceful and enjoyable. I'm happy you and your son enjoy life together.

I hope you're having a lovely Christmas so far, Carol. Is there snow on the ground? A friend of mine who lives in Oneonta says that there's a few inches on the ground there.
My wish is that that 2025 will be a good year for you, despite the political/social environment. The next 4 years will be very tough, but hopefully we, and the country, will get through them.
A. XOXOXOXOX
Happy Birthday!
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!

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'm sorry to hear that your left leg is refusing to do its job, but I'm happy you made some progress and, most of all, that you're still riding--period! Good job!!
Have a Happy Thanksgiving, Carol. I hope you and your son are just going to take it easy with a little turkey, pie, and TV, or some such. Nothing going on here, of course, but I've gotten used to it.
I'm grateful you're my friend on TBD.
A. XOXOXOX
