A bit of ground work with Remy, he was a little edgy but we did a good ten minutes in the garden. I decided to walk him around the garden and back to the barn, but he wasn't as calm as I thought (oops) and he spooked, dragged me over and legged it back to the yard. He was waiting for me at the bottom of the barn, bit snorty but ok. We stayed out for a further ten minutes leading, halting and backing, he was fine, still a bit edgy but a good boy. I groomed Corky intending to ride, she enjoyed being groomed, but she was coughing a little, she sometimes does in winter, it's the dust. I'm thinking we must get them out 24/7 as soon as the weather allows. I then had a blazing row with Jim (not about the horses) and all good intentions had gone.
It's a funny time of year, I made one resolution - to try and stay healthy and do more with the horses (does that count as two?) , "the mind's willing but the flesh is weak" kind of thing. LOL-how pretentious. However, I've come to realise that the mind isn't really very willing and I'm not sure why or how to get over it.
It must be something in the air, Anky, normally very well mannered, stood on my foot in her haste to get into the field, a mixture of impatience and my perpetual clumsiness.

Take heart - we all have those physically awkward days.
Arguments aren't good, I can't work with the horses if my blood's 'up'
Other than that do you need me to come over and kick butt or are you happy wallowing? xxx
Am I wallowing?
It was just the mind nor body being willing that alerted me...ah, that written word again. Sorry I don't think you're wallowing, just lacking motivation maybe?
Can't be on top always, Di.
We have some dark months in our system at this time of the year.
It will be better when the days get lighter and the temperature goes up.
Give yourself a break. Do something nice!
