That's what I dream of these days - an indoor arena. The weather has been fairly decent temperature-wise, but also just rainy enough that the outdoor arenas at our barn are sloppy and slick. So to ride, I would have to haul Zoe to another location. Normally this wouldn't be so awful but this past month I started an exercise class that seems to be eating up most of my free time. I love the exercise, though, and honestly, I need it more than the riding. I can feel my body getting stronger - Yeah!
So the most I've been able to do with Zoe is brush her mud-coat off, untangle her snarled mane and exercise her for a few minutes in the round pen a few times these past couple of weeks.
The chiropractor came out last Monday and confirmed my suspicion that Zoe has pulled a muscle or something in her left front shoulder region. Probably did it by sliding on ice or in the mud recently. Doesn't seem to be serious, but she did react when brushed in the painful area.
It's snowing again right now and the ground is a bit icy as well, so no riding today. Tomorrow maybe? I'm hoping that we can get in at least 3 rides over Christmas break.
