This message is from: [email protected] Laurie - I understand what you're going through.? At only 48, the combination of arthritis and injury has left me with pretty much constant pain, and nothing medicine can do (other than drug me into submission).? If it's really cold, I hurt just walking.? Even on warm days, I can't spend more than 45 minutes in the saddle before I'm done.? I have taken a tremendous amount of pleasure in the 101 other things I *can* do with my horses, including ground work, clicker training, grooming, trick training, and lately learning to ground drive (for me, walking helps once I get past the first 5-10 minutes).
Don't put any more pressure on yourself about what you should be doing.? Do what you can, enjoy it, and find the pleasure in that (even if it's just sitting in the pasture having dinner with the ponies)! Kate with Joe and Della -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] it's become a chronic pain which is now affecting my daily life and is making me quite depressed. ...it's not that the knee doesn't work, it's that there is ongoing pain that has begun to make everything just too much effort.....
