Ah you're welcome for the earwig people.
I don't know why, but lately I've just kind of lost that loving feeling for jumping. I mean, I"m cool with the riding portion of it. I still love to tranter Chance around with the best of them. But Junior? Poor buddy. He's really ready for the next step and I'm really ready for a nap. I feel like we're one of those May/December romances. He's hitting his stride, and I just want to hit the easy chair.
I have been debating just leasing him out for a bit to figure out what I want to do. Frankly, I'm just tired. Maybe it's the strain of moving so many times. Maybe it's the stress of work. Maybe I'm just getting fucking old and I'm ready to be done (ish). I could be pretty happy to show up, stuff my horse full of treats, flop around the ring for about 20-30 minutes, stuff them full of more treats and hang out. The thought of actually WORKING for any of this is more than I can take.
And like today, I would've LOVED to have gone and seen them but the reality is that it was an hour and a half to get there of heavy traffic driving. I just don't think I can take it. I want them closer, but I also want them to have great turnout and a nice place to ride. I kind of really don't even care if it's a field.
I really don't know where to go from here. I don't really feel like taking lessons. I don't feel like jumping. I don't want to be a dressage rider (hello, that's work too). So I'm stuck.....
