Sounds like...Oh that voice! We've all got it. <br /><br />Sounds like you made great use of your time with both horses. I love riding multiple horses and having them both communicate to me that I need to fix something with myself. Not an easy thing, but it always sticks with me more than learning something accidentally on my own.Liz Stouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18267806576736655184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8459505622378142466.post-7643338606365030142018-01-24T09:42:49.585-04:002018-01-24T09:42:49.585-04:00"Salad through a colander" *ROTFL*"Salad through a colander" *ROTFL*lythahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01719586193059362084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8459505622378142466.post-9245621826084112572018-01-23T20:45:32.639-04:002018-01-23T20:45:32.639-04:00I don't know why we're so hard on ourselve...I don't know why we're so hard on ourselves!

I am in the same boat as you. I know it is hard to squash that inner critic (I am my own worse enemy at times), but just think of winter as a good downtime for the horses. As much as I want to ride/train year round, winter forces me to take it easy. And that's ok! Fun snow rides like today will help you get through, even if they are far between.

The footing is still uneven—soft in some areas, packed in others—but it gets better every day. I have Leah in a stall now. She’s on a diet. 😂 poor thing. Sometimes I wish someone would lock me in a stall and feed me salad for a week. She’ll thank me later.

Hopefully conditions will stay favorable, but if not hopefully you're not too hard on yourself when riding isn't really possible!emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8459505622378142466.post-41364677721301628252018-01-21T08:17:49.934-04:002018-01-21T08:17:49.934-04:00Thank you Saiph.

I love how thoughtful you are about your riding, yourself, your horses and your interactions with them. It's my favorite thing about your blog, and always leaves me thinking about my relationships with my own two girls. <br /><br />Riding in the snow is my favorite, for precisely the reasons you mentioned! :)<br /><br />Nicole Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09817619834026667737noreply@blogger.com
