Feeling Stupid

  athystle, posting in equestrian @ 10:01 am: First Picture Post Attempt

 I am not much of a photographer although I do love to try. I have been able to take a few pictures of my mare this weekend and am going to try my luck at posting them. I do have some doubts as to my ability to do such but am giving it a try.

I would like to know what peoples opinion of her is. You must keep in mind that due to my disability she has not had any work done with her for a long time. She does not nor has ever suffered for attention at any time though. Due to my most herniated disc now being mostly disintegrated due to also having DDD as well as the stenosis I am now having a temporary reduction in the daily pain I experience and have thus been able to start at least longeing her again with hopes of getting her built back up some. So yes, she is overweight and out of shape. I am attempting to get her back in shape and hopefully can find someone to help with continuing her training in anticipation of possibly being able to ride her some once she is safe enough for me to ride although the doctors have forbidden it. They have also forbidden a lot of things that i have no choice but to do so I figure what's the difference. I'm headed for a wheelchair anyhow and figure I might as well get there happy as not. I am still thinking of buying another better trained horse for myself to ride but want to see if I can still take being on a horse still before making the additional investment. IF not I may just have Echo trained for driving in hopes I can still do that at least.

I have been only working with her for one week now and am just amazed at all she has retained from previous training. She still walks,trots and whoas from the longe line to which I am in utter awe. She in my opinion would make a nice driving mare. She is about 15.2 or 15.3. She is half Morgan and half French Canadian. I have owned her mom and her grandmom. Her grandmom was my first horse whom I have spoken of who was crippled from a pelvis fracture when just a young filly unbeknown to us when purchased as at that time in 1971 I knew naught of horses. I have deeply loved each one of them and have so much hope to be able to find a way to use Echo on a regular basis even if only for driving. Please let me know what you think.

Okay, just as I thought, I can't figure it out. Is someone on who would please give me detailed instructions as to how to post pics from photobucket. I found the area to do it from but could not get it to work for me. I was able to find the pics by clicking on the browse button but could get no further.
