What a wash...
Oh ugh...no training, ma, cardio, riding, or backpacking for me until next week.
I did an eval on that abused/starved rescue horse that I let my friends daughter bring here a few months ago to find out if he would be safe enough under saddle for my friends daughter to start working him...(She's a 'beginner' rider.)
The answer is no...
And I washed the grit/sand/gravel out of the back of my head and out of my elbows to prove it. Darned head abrasions finally stopped 'leaking' and I'm keeping myself awake until at least midnight and then waking myself on the hour until tomorrow AM to be sure I didn't end up with a concussion. Thankfully I've done so many emergency dismounts over the years that I was completely relaxed when that horse went up and I had no choice but to slide off.
The hardest part was having to explain to my friends daughter that the old gelding she saved is such a basket case emotionally from the abuse he took prior to getting here that he is not emotionally stable enough for her to ride and may never be. An expert rider could handle him, but he's probably always going to be 'hair-triggered' and unsafe.
Frick. This is one of the reasons I got out of doing this...I worked with local rescues for horses and GSD's for years and getting an animal this messed up emotionally and physically and knowing they will never be stable rips my heart out and leaves me wanting to hunt down the idiots that abused the animals that end up in my care and beat the daylights out of them.
/rant over...thanks for listening.
