Nothing like stretching out new boots while working at home ? I can feel my pulse in my legs. That's normal, right? #nocirculation #newboots #newshoes #equestrianlife #equestrianproblems #whoneedsbloodanyway

In case anybody is wondering why I haven't posted any riding pics/vids of Sneak in awhile, this is why. ? But hopefully the farrier is coming out this week, and chiro on Friday, so we'll be back to training next week! And in the meantime, a friend and I are going to be taking her horse and a pony I'm allowed to ride into the lake tomorrow. Should be interesting!
