Trauma

General
So I’ve dealt with another hard day today. My horse riding training, which I’ve done on and off for a long while, has had me being thrown to the ground twice in a short time frame. I’m nearing more later middle aged years and really wonder if I need to pursue something else. The physical pain has now crept into me mentally. I am having sleeping issues and more frequent cramped stomach pains. But how do you let go of something you’ve loved for so many years?

I don't know what to say, but that's a horrible feeling to have, contemplating whether to axe what you love because it's becoming dangerous as you grow older. I just wish you all the best and that your love for it never dies out.

I really thank you for this. I’ve had to change directions a bit goal wise, but hope to overcome my fears soon.

Hugs tight. So sorry to hear. Can you find something else that still deals with horses?

I already had it: a partial lease right now with an older paint horse I used to train on. She is just my speed.

Awesome. Hugs. Glad to hear.
