No-Stirrup November

It's a good thing I crammed in so much fun on Sunday, because by midday Monday I was siiiiiiick. As a dog. I came home from work and crawled under a blanket on the couch and proceeded to crave death. I didn't leave my couch again for 48+ hours. Ugh.
At least I had good company...
But yesterday I was determined to rejoin the land of the living, so I dragged myself to work, and then out to the barn to ride in the evening. My barn always goes all out for No-Stirrup November (with contests and prizes and usually a hard fought competition!) so I was shamed into riding with no stirrups haha. It was probably a bit ambitious, but we did manage a nice W/T/C ride. I might feel like dying later, but no pain, no gain.... right??
At least we had good company!
Luckily being sick half of the week means the weekend snuck up on me, so hopefully I'll have some decent weather to fit in some rides this weekend on Cinna!

    1. I have the actual worst immune system ever, so what's shocking is that I haven't gotten really sick before now... haha. Happens every year about this time!

    1. Yeah the barn manager keeps a scoreboard to track rides, we have a FB event where we post silly memes and progress, etc. It's really good for barn camraderie! ☺️
