Well, It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time

So what else dayss someone like me, who is recovering from 4 spinal fractures and more or less learning to walk again, do but register for a 4 day dressage clinic? In long reins.  In 100 degree weather. While bundled up in several inches of foam and neoprene back brace.

No one ever said I look for the easy way out.

Fine tuning the passage

Well...a few days later and I can still walk. Sorta. With a cane. On flat surfaces. With lots of percoset.
