While the ride is NO MORE! my little girl is recovering, which at this point is all that matters.
I am cleaning and unpacking all my gear, creating more of an emergency survival kit if nothing else.
While both horses are resting at home, I am trying to figure out how I can get Sweet Pea to WANT to do this ride with me. Want is a human term, but there was no other reason I could figure except standard stress, her being home sick? or what ever!
She and I have traveled. I have even taken Navarre with us when he was younger BUT this was a while back and I will have to get her mind back into traveling. I had no idea with all our daily outings her going home at night would be such a big deal.
Still looking into Acupuncture, It worked wonders on my little "BOY" (papers were Moonsweep) so this is still an option IF I can find someone good enough to do it around here.
Not giving up on the ride but I'm starting a new training plan!
Today was a beautiful day, but I couldn't ride, I've got two horses and had I taken Navarre out alone Sweet Pea would have gone crazy worked herself into a sweat and gotten sick again.
It is what it is... allowing them to rest this week, back to our normal trips up and down the mountain and around the neighborhood next week.
Life...

I am so sorry that your trip did not turn out as planned (Barely began as planned, right)? but thankful Sweet Pea is okay. As tenacious as you are, you WILL find a way to make this happen. It just was not your time. But there IS a time. Praying for you and the kids - and praying for God to show you the timing!
Cheryl,
Thank you for the comment, as I ponder how yet to proceed with my goals and merging that of Sweet Pea's wants and in put. I will figure out something. Although not going to try again till next winter, so I can take both horses once again. We shall see. Life is all about give and take, learning, and even listening when you don't want to hear (I didn't want to quite, is what I'm saying... but it was the only responsible thing to do.)
