[RC] Napping - Winter, Randy or Cheryl


I'm 52. Been riding horses all my life, distance
riding since 1997. Lately, every time I go trail
riding, I have to take a nap afterwards. I mean,
lights go out! Doesn't matter if it's a 5 mile ride or
25 miles, doop de doo pace or bookin'. After I get
home, put the horse away and sit down, I just crash.



Hey Chris

Napping is a great way to recharge the batteries. Like Karen I have taken
naps all my life.  I learned it from my father years ago.   People at work
marvel at the fact if I do not do out walking that I can lay down in a quiet
office, put my feet up on a chair for 30 minutes, fall into a deep rest and
come right back out of it with out a alarm and be refreshed and ready to go.
Very close to a meditation type rest ( or so I have been told).
The only thing I would add to this thought is if you think this is a very
new or unusual thing for you maybe just get a few lab works done to be sure
everything is ok.  But if you are like a lot of us, juggling many balls,
then maybe it is just the time out you need to refresh.

We are talking about all the tools we can use to keep our horses safe and
alive at the rides. Training/conditioning is one of the best tools
available. It makes us better horseman and women, it benefits our horses
and could quite possibly be the key to preventing most crashes.
