Equestrian Journey Blog Hop: What will you not do?

I have never been so sick of sitting down. My leg hurts and my hands are bruising from sticks of death (read: crutches). 

So today I'm participating in Equestrian Journeys' first blog hop! Today she asks 'What will you NOT do?'


Firstly I will not ride with an instructor who is blatantly rude, ignorant or not listening to me. I'm paying you to learn and to have an enjoyable time and if I feel uncomfortable, unsafe or disregarded on more than one occasion then theres a problem. I took one riding lesson with an instructor on holiday once who put me on a horse she randomly selected out of the field, saying "There he looks pretty - you can ride him today" (she also never asked my ability or assessed me at all). Needless to say we left that property pretty quickly, nearly tripping over random pieces of equipment left lying around the place, generally the horses didn't look that well cared for and the two staff the we saw were extremely rude. No thanks!

Quick Update (Friday Foto)


This is has been my state since yesterday:
No it's not broken, it's actually a super bad infection from who knows where, causing bad swelling and bad, bad, bad pain (I can't walk on it, hello crutches!) By the way my leg on the left is normal, the right is the infected one :( basically if it doesn't clear up by tomorrow then I'll have to go to hospital, because it may get into my blood stream. So I had to cancel riding and volleying for tomorrow. Boooooo.

Side note; I told mum that'd I'd "cold hose it and stick it in a bucket of Epsom salts and water to draw out infection"😂

Funny how they get into our heads!
