I am so so so so so sorry for all that you've gone through so far and am very glad you are otherwise very okay. I dunno what any of the solutions are (in regards to a newer post) but I am definitely sending good thoughts your way and know you'll come to a good solution that is right for you and all involved!L.Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05052638724440787772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371838582463916633.post-15980029016100369512015-02-16T17:15:07.834-08:002015-02-16T17:15:07.834-08:00Thank you so so much.Thank you so so much.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15925650148327532110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371838582463916633.post-77986109764640774932015-02-16T17:14:54.580-08:002015-02-16T17:14:54.580-08:00Thank youThank youSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15925650148327532110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371838582463916633.post-4092743167713378532015-02-16T17:14:42.585-08:002015-02-16T17:14:42.585-08:00Thank you very muchThank you very muchSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15925650148327532110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371838582463916633.post-49464505465485542612015-02-16T17:14:33.004-08:002015-02-16T17:14:33.004-08:00Thank you.

Don't feel pressured to do anything tomorrow. Wait it out a bit and see where this goes. Fix one problem at a time - get healthy first, take care of the car next, and then retackle the issues with Hemie (he's not in a hurry). The solution will present itself. Take care, girlfriend, and call me if you need a listening ear.Bakersfield Dressagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05571487914424695283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371838582463916633.post-23312192390890309292015-02-16T07:11:58.823-08:002015-02-16T07:11:58.823-08:00Sorry you are going through this.

My friends horses and Laura's mules have a saddle fitter who can flock saddles or use special pads to make them fit better. Perhaps there is one near you? Or maybe there is some kind of hidden lameness or his feed is making him hot? Just sharing what I've heard other people say can cause changes in behavior. I hope you figure this out.Paolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13169356458758529349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371838582463916633.post-91389315146855011762015-02-14T12:33:25.738-08:002015-02-14T12:33:25.738-08:00I'm so sorry about everything that has happene...I'm so sorry about everything that has happened.

It's not okay, especially for an eventer - you need to be able to confidently put your life in his "hands" out there, 100% of the time. I hope you heal well and aren't put off by our comments - I wouldn't leave a comment like this lightly or to hurt you. Eventing is awesome, and I hate seeing people injured in it!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292565760924146966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371838582463916633.post-24484317335235717592015-02-14T05:33:16.743-08:002015-02-14T05:33:16.743-08:00Hopefully things start looking up soon!Hopefully things start looking up soon!Carlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17308477892024999793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371838582463916633.post-78756260053468928662015-02-13T19:33:25.788-08:002015-02-13T19:33:25.788-08:00Sarah--I haven't been commenting on your blog ...Sarah--I haven't been commenting on your blog lately because its been painful to read. Your love for Hemie is obvious but so were all the warning signs that a wreck was coming. <br /><br />What is happening now is not ok. <br /><br />Your position is not safe. Your trainer is pushing you for things you are not ready for. You've expressed before that you don't think your trainer gets Hemie and you're spot on. It's a terrible match. She put you in a dangerous position and she is endangering your horse. <br /><br />Beyond that. You need to consider if hemie is the right horse for you. He scares you and you scare him. You paid Debbie Rosen for an opinion and she gave it to you. It is your privilege to ignore whomever you choose, but think hard before you do that. <br /><br />I'm sorry you're hurting. I know all this sucks. I know you love hemie and you're invested in this trainer, but the situation is spiraling out of hand. <br /><br />I know I'm a stranger on the Internet and you can do anything you want with my opinion, but please don't get yourself killed.
