I had a beautiful day! These pictures represent the most exciting NSV of them all for me! My life was horses when I was younger. Before kids I trained, showed, taught lessons... basically lived my life revolving around that whole world. I rode unto my 9th month of pregnancy with my oldest and 8th with my second. During the pregnancy with my third, I had contracted to break a filly before I knew I had a little one on the way. I did the job and then stopped riding at 5 months along. (BTW, I don't recommend anyone ride while they are pregnant. I was very experienced and a bit dumb too!) I tried to keep up with some riding during the next years, but eventually being a mom to 5 and homeschooling full time just crowded out nearly everything else. I got fat and unfit. Although I had contacts who would be happy for me to pick up riding again, I felt I was too overweight. My balance was compromised and I was more likely to be injured when not strong. Today, was my first day back! I rode a couple horses. One is an NRHA champion (for anyone who cares that is a big deal in the reining world) and the light buckskin is a pretty green (newly trained) horse. It was a very special day for me. I am so thankful for you on here who have supported me so much and continue to have faith in me that I can continue this journey.
