debris4spikeThis morning as I walked towards DJ's field my bad leg started going numb (I had been badly injured 25 years ago) ... and by the time we had got to the stables I was really dragging it, even though DJ had been kind enough to walk towards me across his field.
I thought that as there was no reason for the problem then it would ease once I was out of the wind, but no. By the time I had picked out his feet (and he is a good boy for that) I couldn't feel the leg at all ... so decided to call it quits.
I went in and told Toni I wouldn't be riding; and we chatted for a bit. they have a nice extension in their kitchen, with a bit of wall that is just "lean-against" height.
I then went out and fed "sir" and rode him back to his field - I did put on his bridle, but not his saddle. So all the work he did was a gentle stroll with me, but no tight girth!
So - although my back was hurting, it was a type of morning that DJ could cope with quite well!!
btw
My leg is still numb, but that hopefully will re-settle within a couple of days.

Date: 2008-03-20 06:10 pm (UTC)Since I have been riding, I suppose it happens a couple of times a year - but usually for a reason. However I always have to be careful as to what seat I sit in... and how long I sit!
Still, considering the accident, it could have been so much worse, so I am not complaining.
