This has been a difficult time for me. Although my laptop has finally been returned, the last few days I’ve not been in the right frame of mind to blog. I blew my knee out again, after three lovely rides on Mojo, and the reoccurrence has some serious repercussions. For one thing, I will most likely be looking at July – at the earliest – before I can ride again. After a lot of honest introspection, I have decided to move Mojo to a friend’s barn where he will be ridden regularly while I deal with my knee. I don’t want Mojo to have another 10 weeks off – he’s had enough time off in his life and his work ethic, as small as it is, needs to be encouraged, not extinguished by remaining a pasture puff.
My friend’s barn is an hour away. I will probably only see Mojo a few times a month. I am really sad, as he is my One True Thing – the light of my life that I can turn to when all else is difficult and trying. However, my responsibility is to his well-being, so I have to do what is best for him.
I’ll be moving him on Saturday.
