Sitting in doctors' offices give me the creeps...I can feel myself getting sick.
I worked Elliot last night and managed to walk and trot both ways in a relatively calm manner, and do lots of circles with a minimum of rearing and fussage. She only threw one big hissy fit...she jerked her head down and struck with her front feet and ended up jerking the reins out of my hands. I got a pretty good burn from my braided nylon reins. Other than that though, it wasn't bad. I have to ride her again tonight and Maxz too. I'm also looking at a 7 year old mare in Hailey...she's a prospect but was trained on barrels by a 14 year old girl. She's gorgeous, but a little short and with a long body so I'm afraid she wouldn't have the bend and drive I'm looking for. Depending on the money situation I may go up and put her through a workout, but it'll be a couple days before I know.
Also, according to this doctors' office, I'm 5'4" and 130, which means I've shrunk two and a half inches and gained 5 pounds since my last checkup, which seems improbable to me since my pants fit looser and I'm as tall as my mother, who's 5'8"...but whatever.
I need to start working out again anyway. My hard ride yesterday made me sore and my legs aren't as strong or defined as they used to be...I need to be in the best shape possible when I start next season. Actually I heard Brittney Pharr runs 2 or 3 miles a day...but it certainly didn't help her at Gooding :p
