Debriefing

For those of you who don't know already, we are back safe and sound from Florida. The main thing here is that we are SAFE and sound! The car is ok, we are ok, everything is OK. Now that's out of the way we can talk about how much fun we had! Poor Kathy...she felt so bad that we had such a hard time getting down there and that it rained every time we stepped foot outside of anything with a roof. I think maybe she thought we were not having a good time. Well we really went down there to see her, and secondly to ride, so the trip was a success. We did ride only twice but really I think we could have ridden everyday for a week straight and it would not have helped me at all. I cannot even begin to explain how horribly I rode! My leg was all over the place but most certainly not where it was supposed to be. My upper body was decidedly top heavy and chose to allow gravity to do it's job much too easily! I seriously don't know how I stayed on at all! Kathy gavae me the name of an equitation trainer up here, Matt Collins. She said he may be able to help me get it together but I think he might tell me I'm a lost cause. I'll give it a try anyway, but I'm not holding my breath. Anyway...all in all I'm glad we decided to keep trudging on after we had the accident. It was good to see Kathy and Sam and Peanut, and Abby, and Sassy of course. Next time I'm taking a train and will ride with Matt or someone else everyday for a month before I go down if I have to!
