Beep Beep, I sent you an email. But would like to report I had my very first ride back today, I feel a bit battered as so not rider fit & we went for a hill ride. Ankles were feeling it, but now just back muscles probably partly c-sect to blame but also cause I'm so unfit. Horse was good after her long break, but needs more outings as was a little overwhealmed at one point on the trek but I was with a trusty partner & we did a horse swap so I ended up riding most of it on the less bouncy fully dependable one ....

Museum is good too (if you're into museums) - free as well, and they have done heaps of renovations in the past few years. Victoria St Markets were rubbish last time I went to have a look a few years back, nothing like it was, er, many years ago when I was a teenager...

Well what a long week, I'm sure all CHCH people are feeling the same. Exhausted/heavy eyes, mentally drained. Can't say I enjoyed working on second level of building in Sydenham, with ground floor being tile showroom & being upstairs when the 5.1 hit on Wednesday at 7.48am. But hey, I should toughen up, there are others who are far worse off, thinking of you all :)

I was told recently that it's not so dependent on bone as such, more about type and way of going.

I'm really interested to know where the 'official' place to 'measure bone' is : I remember reading years ago, 'just under the knee', but it makes more sense to me to measure pretty much the middle of the cannon bone - ie the smallest circumference. For your horses with 10" or so, where are you measuring? My quite light-weight looking boy has (smallest circumference) of just over 8.5 inches, and the huge clydie cross (17.2hh) and really solid, has 9.5". The 3/4 ID boy has 9.25.

The definition of my pure hell is being stuck in a bus with 30 tired toddlers and mums in Takapuna knowing that your farrier is waiting for you at home which is 40kms away and he is doing you a special favor and you have no way of contacting him. What was meant to be a relaxing morning seeing the show The Gruffalos with daycare turned into a nightmare when they announced halfway there they had booked the late show by mistake. Everyone else was "Oh thats cool and I went "your shitting me right?" which didnt go down well with the other mums. As we went to leave the show a dad was missing and turned up 10mins later with a latte and hot chocolate for his kids.I had steam coming out my ears. Lucky for me I got hold of my fab neighbour at the last minute and she held the horse but god I am now exhausted from stressing. Only other horsie people can understand this sort of farrier panic. I dont ever want to feck off my farrier. Rant over.
