Always behind

That's how I'm feeling right now, anyway.  The 'To Do' list seems to be never-ending, I can never seem to reach the end of any given list before a new one is started.

Two things checked off and it's 2:30 in the morning.. lovely. (to be fair, the Path cases were a Huge task, and my boards questions are almost finished.. so yeah..)
 
 
I haven't ridden in the past several weeks, there just hasn't been time, and it's miserable.  I'm hoping this weekend to break that cycle!  Over winter break we had really terrible weather, I tried to ride every day it was above 15 degrees, but sadly that was really not that often when you factor in wind chill!  One Really cool opportunity I had was to ride at a friends' barn, her trainer let me take a lesson on a retired grand prix horse!  That, my friends, was a much needed reminder of why I'm muddling through lower level dressage - it was such a lovely glimpse of what I one day want to be able to achieve / train.  (the canter really made me laugh out loud, the smoothness but huge jump - so cool!!)
 
I leave you with Valentine's Day French Toast.  Happy February!  Hug and kiss your horses and pets if you have them, significant others should do if you don't!

  1. You ride some and then you don't, you'll get back on when its not so busy, and that french toast looks tasty!

  2. I hope you're right, thank you! I'm inspired by riders like you out there with super busy careers that still manage to make riding and showing possible, it gives me hope :)
