Cook and the rest of the Friday updates
I hopped on Cook today and I dont’ know what to say. Today was the first day I used a saddle and bridle on her. We tried to canter a little bit but it was pretty crappy. I can’t tell if she is being naughty or if she is hurt. I guess it’s too early to tell. Kathy got me some SMB for my birthday and on the label it says they are good for recovering from injury - horses and for arthritic horses… both of which Cook is. So I am going to make her wear her boots and keep trotting trotting trotting…. and build back up some muscles… and then try to canter again.
I don’t know if I will ever get my horse back.

I’m really glad today is the start of the weekend. My jeep sort of acted funny yesterday so i have no clue if that is about to go or what. At least I have over the weekend to see what the deal is. I am supposed to go to Fayetteville to see my sister play ball… with my jeep acting up I am not sure if that is a good idea or a bad one… I really do not want to get stuck somewhere in between. Richard is supposed to be coming up sometime soon and my mom is coming up on Sunday because she has a doctor’s appt on Monday.
We’ll see.

Aw, don’t get discouraged about Cook. She’s just takin her sweet time to heal. They do that when they get older.
Sometimes everything just comes down on you at once and it all just sucks, huh?

I hope so… I really hope so. I hate to think of never cantering her again. It makes me sort of wish I would have bred her so she can be doing a job and have a year off…. but I had that decision and no time to 2nd guess it now.
