WHEN THE TROUBLES ARISE, I'M THE COOL COPER...


Until yesterday - when I melted down royally. Epically. Thoroughly. Let's say my
animal companions ran and hid.

Monday was the long awaited graduation to short cast day. I'd been trapped in a
cast up to my armpit for a month, so my hopes were high about the second
appointment with Dr. Dreamy, until -

I didn't feel comfortable hopping off the table to grab my trusty iphone and
snap a selfie of the naked arm, which was kind of crooked and not quite stiff
enough once the cast - which contained a fair amount of hay - was peeled off.

The not nearly as charming x-ray tech couldn't look me in the eye when I asked
her about my pix. Dr. D didn't have a happy look on his face either. The bones
are actually further apart than the original break, with no sign of new bone.
This practice isn't cool about sharing my films with me. I'll leave the
disappointing images to your imagination.

So I'll be getting surgery next Tuesday - a plate and six screws, which cost
thousands of dollars apiece apparently, the joy of general anesthesia + getting
cut open. 

Bad news. the whole process is going to take much longer to resolve. 8 - 12 more
weeks. I have to anticipate the event all week, with the knowledge of my wiggly
arm riding around in the dirty old cut up ace bandaged on cast. Poor wiggly arm.
:(

Good news - once the hardware is installed, I'll get a brace rather than another
cast. I'll get my wrist back immediately, and everything should get better
rapidly. Fingers crossed...

I sincerely hope that next year is an improvement over this past one. Losing
dear ones, personal betrayals, weather related chaos, and big steps backwards
with my pony have kept me battling to maintain a positive attitude. Morale has
suffered, my health has suffered, and blogging has suffered. I'm ready for
change. :D













Whaa? Wasn't me. Eating Hoovering the grapes you were saving in the tack room...

Winter dapples

Hey lady - why you do that?

Ground work

Looks different

Smells different

What's with the hard arm lady?!

Does it....

... TASTE different?!

FACE BEHIND THE VERTICAL - A MODERN DEVIATION FROM THE CLASSICAL IDEAL
BY ERIK HERBERMANN

 * Part I - We must listen to the horse...
 * Part II - The secret of good riding...
 * Part III - By their fruits you will know them...
 * Part IV - With this knowledge strive to cooperate with rather than impede the
   horse...




♕♕♕♕♕♕♕♕♕♕♕♕♕♕♕♕♕♕♕♕♕♕♕♕♕






MY DRESSAGE GOALS

 * I want to deserve the willing cooperation, partnership and trust of my
   (awesome) horse.

 * I want to progress, and acknowledge that when my physical (and mental) selves
   can work with the coordination and subtlety that classical dressage requires,
   this will happen.
   

 * I want to progress - but never at the cost of my horses health, mental or
   physical.

 * I want to earn our accomplishments in due time, when we're both ready. There
   are no shortcuts in dressage.

FEI ROLLKUR PETITION

Please visit this petition sight and consider supporting the effort to reinstate
the actual rules of the FEI regarding rollkur / "low, deep and round" /
hyperflexion.

Here is the text of the conclusion:

In Conclusion

1) We ask that the FEI immediately begin upholding the official General
Principles of Dressage in the warm-ups, in competition, and by reinstating item
10 of the Code of Conduct send a clear message that the Principles of Dressage
characterized by a concern for the health and welfare of the horse apply to the
entire training of the horse not just the show ring.

2) A supple poll as the highest point of the neck according to the stage of
training and the extension or collection of the pace, describes the best posture
for developing the dressage horse in a healthy and respectful manner.

3) We protest vigorously the FEI's acceptance of LDR (low, deep and round) and
stand against any changes to the rules that would allow LDR or alter Article 401
Item 5 to make LDR permissible. LDR is not approved in the Rules now and it
should never be added.

4) We ask that the FEI consider that it is not and has not been fair to the
horses and sportsmen and women everywhere that the Rules have been clearly
disobeyed. A level playing field requires that all riders follow the SAME code
of conduct in training AND in the show ring.
