I'm...Well your relationship sounds really good. I'm glad your getting her to ride with you this spring. My mom can kinda be absent minded too just in a different way. She is more absent about training but that's okay bc I have a great trainer and a great friend and both are very open about helping me.<br /><br />Thanks, this cast is very different, leg is doing well I just wish there was something I could do to get it to heal faster.Mirandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07368532091786233188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8743416867781673656.post-70615800819506095512012-04-15T19:43:16.300-07:002012-04-15T19:43:16.300-07:00That's nice that you guys can share that now! ...That's nice that you guys can share that now! Oh no.. my mom is super supportive and honestly we each have our own "thing", mine is horses & honestly I'm kind of glad that it's my thing. She loves to come out and pet them, and generally thinks they are "cute".. this spring i'll be taking her for a ride at the ranch, which should be a lot of fun. But she does Ironman (a huge triathlon) as well as crossfit and marathons, and is big into that. & I definitely am not! haha however i try to be at as many of her finish lines as possible, and in a way she's at as many of mine as well. We have a really good relationship.. she is, however, hilarious and absent minded at times (as you can tell from the forgetfulness exhibited in this post!) this post was just more about the silliness of non-horse people conversations with horse-people than anything hahaha<br /><br />sorry for MY novel! ;) Hope your leg is doing well - the new cast is pretty snazzy!!Louisa Valentina;https://www.blogger.com/profile/03635679863212377114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8743416867781673656.post-33598250098085426022012-04-15T19:38:52.313-07:002012-04-15T19:38:52.313-07:00My mom was never in to it either. She thought I...My mom was never in to it either. She thought I'd grow out of it do she took me to lessons for years. When I got tired of lessons she suggested I lease, that led to mom falling in love and buying I think mostly bc she was with the same horse most days for two or three months. It took 9years for her to come around. Idk if you have your mom come out to see the horses or Jingles but that got my mom to come around. Like kinda include her more besides just talking about it. Just a suggestion, sorry for th novel I wrote.Mirandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07368532091786233188noreply@blogger.com
