When I got home from the barn I was so tired, my thighs were sore, and I just wanted to lie down and be a couch potato.

But I had a great ride.
And damn, was it worth the exhaustion.

Just wanted to share

A guy I work with (also an equestrian) says he can always tell if I had a good ride on my horse the night before.

Happy for you DottieHQ! It is great to leave the barn feeling productive and accomplished.
Although this weather isn't really helping because I do not feel anything when I leave... Including my toes, fingers, ears, and nose!

Don't you love that feeling! Nothing better than a good ride. And sometimes a good ride might be a walk around the farm. Nothing else like it!

I'm Happy for ya

haha my DH always knows when its been a good or bad day at the barn. Its funny that it can affect you so much but it sure does!

Mmm, hmm.

It's so sad that it takes so many words to describe the great feeling of riding a broke horse, or one who masters something new. The rest of the world's eyes glaze over just as you are entering the rapture while describing your great ride.

I had a lovely ride on my young Haflinger gelding (brat) today.....we rode without anything on his head, it was a passenger ride. I got my legs scraped on the fence at least seven times, but by the time we were done he would stop, turn, etc. And normally he's really gate sour, so this was a nice change. I know how you feel!
