What weather they shall have is not ours to rule.” “To me it would not seem that a Steward who faithfully surrenders his charge is diminished in love or in honour.” “I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” And a bunch of others from the Grey Wizard via JRR Tolkien

I broke my ankle in March of 2020, the COVID year. Slipped going downhill when I stepped on a hose that was under the snow; my foot lodged behind a grass clump, but I kept hurtling past and the rest is history. I limped inside and took off MY muck boot right away or it would've had to be cut off. Didn't go to the doctor--because like I said, COVID--and just taped and wrapped it. It happened on March 14, which was a Saturday, so it was the day between Friday the 13th and the Ides of March. I should have known. I kept on doing my chores every day, hobbling out to the barn to feed horses and collect the manure, keep the water filled and so on. I finally had it x-rayed four months later (yes, four months) just to make sure it had healed properly. Turns out I'd broken it in three places, although nothing was displaced. It's all fine now, but I can tell you for sure that I'm extra, extra careful on hills when it's slippery. I don't have a back-up helper available, so being out of commission for several weeks is a sobering thought.

I love the way you give your horses simple names that seem to fit their place in life. As this new guy is intended to be a stable mate for Skeletor, I wouldn’t be able to resist calling him Buddy Boy.

My heart sank when it turned out you hurt yourself. I hope you recover quickly - and yes please do put as much love and attention in yourself as you do for the horses you care for! You deserve it!

I was thinking Pepper, but like Merlin a lot.

Wishing you a speedy recovery, but do take care of yourself!

Could you tell us about your emergency plans? How would you manage if you got hurt away from the horses? Are there friends/family who know how to care for the horses? Are there any other emergency situations you reasonably need to worry about and how do you prepare?

Lol, jumped the gun a bit! I guess your husband could take over so long as isn't out of town. Horses require so much care and are often so remote, I just wonder what happens if your have a medical emergency or if you're prevented from going to the farm for a few days.

Yes “Enquiring minds want to know”. Seems absolutely necessary.

Take care of yourself! You can' t take care of them if you can't function. You are a great horse woman!

Oh man….good lord girl!!!! Sending you healing vibes! Get better asap!!!!!
