Good boy Woody! I know exactly how you feel — I’m kind of bummed the season’s over, but I’ve gotten my social life back. Can’t wait for spring, though! Not sure if I’m up for Morven at the end of March, because it’s usually freezingasscold and sometimes rainy.

Oh yeah, and good on you for blogging about your adventures! Isn’t it cool to read back and realize how far you’ve come?

Um… So, I’ve been reading your blog for a while now, and had no plans of writing any comments… Until this post. That was quite possibly the funniest thing I have ever read. Ever. Thank you for brightening this rainy day for me!

Comment on Therapy sometimes makes you crazy by McFawn

I think the spring weather is at fault. I lost my awesome OTTB I owned for 15 years last September. I was doing okay, riding (but not owning) a sensative, insecure, and talented Morgan…

But you know what? As much as I love riding all horses, and I know a different horse is good for my riding, I just miss the relationship, trust, and comfort I had with Fancy. I even miss his bad days!

For some reason, the nice weather has made all the feelings of loss come back to me as if it just happened. It doesn’t help that May would have been his 20th birthday.

I feel for you. I started working with this other horse to keep my mind off of Fancy, but sometimes it all comes rushing back as if I’d just had my last ride on him yesterday.

I just wanted to tell you that I can totally relate to your crazy. I lost my childhood pony and my OTTB four months apart last year. Words can’t describe how much I miss them. Just typing this brings tears to my eyes. But hearing how you feel, and how you are moving forward with Woods, makes me realize that one day I will get another horse, and while it won’t be “the same” it will still be good. So thanks!

Just thinking about your partnership with Woody makes me smile. You looked super out there..dare I say he looked slightly bored with the smaller fences

[...] ago that I reported Woody, in the way of a great deal of OTTBs (But not all!) brewed himself up a lovely abscess. Well, he TOO has come full circle. You know why? Because I had plans. Any eventer knows [...]
