| Hi gang! I'm so, so happy, that I wanted to share with all of you! I finally got back on Indy on Tuesday night :D I took a very, very bad fall from him in June of last year and haven't been back on him since. I bruised a kidney in my fall, and had any confidence in him and myself shattered. I ended up terrified at the thought of riding and ended up packing on more weight, but now that I am substantially lighter I decided that it was time to get over myself and get back on my boy :D I sent him to a friend for a month of riding to get any kinks out, and he does most of his work out on the trail. So on Tuesday night I got back on Indy and we went for a two hour trail ride! I hadn't been on a ride that long in many, many years (and now I'm paying for it, my legs are still screaming, haha!) Anyhow, Chris was there to snap a few pictures before we left... Here we are lunging a little  Here I am partly terrified, and partly in shock that I was actually on my horse, lol! Please excuse the draw rein setup that Joey has us in. It's not pretty, but it sure works well!  Heading out  Heading up the road  And into the field on the other side of the creek  | |

| Woohoo...two of my hardest things to over come are weight and fear; you are doing both. Congrats to you, job well done. The pain of riding for two hours is a great pain because you know why it is there. Thanks for sharing.  | |

| Lol! I call that expression the look of pure terror and pure shock that I actually got on the horse! I did have the biggest grin when we got back  | |
