Lots of variables and work and owner permissions are going into it and if the trainer we are working with says she can’t be ridden at any point, that’s fine with me. Her comfort and happiness is the most important thing.
I’ve never been more motivated to get in shape before, though. I can’t push myself too hard because I have a lot of health issues and I definitely can’t push Sandy too hard either because she’s old. Gonna take things slow and careful and hope for the best end result.
Thank you so much! I have some really good sneakers. I do most of my exercise at the barn. Riding, barn chores, just walking around, etc. I wear either rubber barn boots or my riding (cowboy) boots. Both are super supportive and comfortable. I had my right ankle reconstructed in 2023, so I’m really picky about shoes.
Aqua therapy is amazing for my health issues, but there’s nowhere nearby that does it. The second best exercise is horseback riding lol.
