I'm finally back to riding after losing both my horses within months of each other four years ago. In 2013 searched for, and purchased a new young horse, a 3yo Morgan mare. Unfortunately months after she arrived, she suffered a shoulder injury that required a year off. When she was finally ready to get back to work I began getting sick with what took a year to be diagnosed as pancreatitis/gallstones. Finally this year we're both back and healthy enough to get back to work. With the help of a new (and wonderful) instructor, we restarted Retta from the beginning as she was so green to begin with and had two years off. After a spring and summer of longeing and ground driving, we were finally ready for me to ride. I got in the saddle in September after a 4 year hiatus. I was grinning for days afterwards.
thank you, I adore her. She's quiet and steady and a real love.
