Take heart, you will be okay. Keep your good friends close and don't forget to breathe.... I have three that have gone, flown the coop so to speak. My feelings ebb and flow still after all these years. Though time did make things easier, mostly I just had to learn to get used to the silent heartbreak. Take joy in your accomplishments and be proud your son and the man he is becoming. The upswing is watching them grow still (and silently holding the safety net )
Glad you are getting out to ride some... or that is what I think you are saying. Your English is fabulous... mine, not so much. lol.
I'm Leslie, notorious for photos, live Hawaii and ride western pleasure/trail. DH and I have his (fjord/dun paint) and her (pintoloosa) horses ages 4 & 5. Mine being Hombre the 5yo. It has been in the 90's with no breeze and high humidity here. Lots of sweat to be had by all even in the early mornings and eves. No reprieve. DH is down, not riding for another few more months and i have been trying to stay on top (again) of Hombre. He has been a bit of a handful because of big lapses in riding due to DH's illness and life. With a snotty horse and the heat I am not enjoying things. I have him back in the round pen and arena now. Took him on the trail last Saturday and he was bad and I am sore for it. I'm determined to keep plugging away at it. He will be a good boy one day...!View attachment 1870448 View attachment 1870452 View attachment 1870451 I'm also helping a friend (going into surgery in a few days) with his horse Waipa- (red roan) summer itch and weekly ride. Nice to join your adventure thread.
Hi Leslie
Have you cooled down there? Have you got any riding done lately?
