[RC] A wonderful 30 minutes on Sunday - JL Thompson

Was reading about everybody's good and bad ride weekends, so thought I'd chime 
in and tell everyone what a heavenly, wonderful feeling it was to finally 
saddle up and be on the back of my wonderful boy, Shahtahr, after 4 months of 
stall rest due to his injury.

I was finally given the go-ahead on Saturday to start slow rehab...30 minutes 
walking under saddle per day for the first month, then slowly increasing the 
workload.

It felt sooooo good to be on him!  I think he felt good too, he was perky, 
curious, and well-behaved (which I wasn't sure he'd be after all the 
confinement).  He felt strong and strode out well.  He spooked a little here 
and there, but nothing horrible.

I didn't realize how much I missed riding him.  :)    Can't wait to get to the 
barn and do our 30 minutes again today.  Baby steps.....

Jennifer
