He gets to the corner of the housing development and for some reason, it's time to "bustamove."<br /><br />Ah, laces. Excellent to "lace them very loosely."<br /><br />Do check out arnica gel. I've had bruises disappear in a day or two (usually I bruise easily and the black and blue "look" lasts). Good to have it around since getting stepped on with/without boots is an avocational hazard ;o)TBDancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03889066602819359591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8339321308717215115.post-61566108890378003602010-05-09T09:36:15.037-04:002010-05-09T09:36:15.037-04:00Congrats on riding again!

Very colorful... but I'm fine. I have to use laced shoes and lace them very loosely. <br /><br />Enjoy Mothers Day and your ride!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11564627110822414614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8339321308717215115.post-38483523732305265072010-05-08T22:39:30.640-04:002010-05-08T22:39:30.640-04:00Happy Mother's Day to you, too!! I rode today,...Happy Mother's Day to you, too!! I rode today, first time in six months (cleared by my surgeon ;o) I had a great ride, too, though my fellow was quite zippy too, and I opted to ride around my acre (inside the fence ;o) just in case. Discretion being the better part of valor and all that.<br /><br />How's your foot? I read part of a Blog about a first-time horse owner and her OTTB; she had a lovely hoof-shaped bruise on HER foot, too.<br /><br />Hope your foot is better. Must have been since you're riding. <br /><br />And weather--we're due for showers tomorrow and Monday, but I'm riding anyway. No chance I'll melt ;o)TBDancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03889066602819359591noreply@blogger.com
