I used to ride bareback and bridleless, then I was diagnosed with a spinal inflammatory arthritis and was warned, a fall could see me in a wheelchair. For some reason me in a wheelchair is a picture that keeps popping up, although the disire to ride Callie is huge. Mind you I had 2 falls off her since the diagnosis (5 years ago) and nothing bad happened, yet... that fear reigns supreme, especially after my last fall, and I haven't ridden now for 2 years. I so want to sit on Callie again, even if it is just for a quiet sit and walk in the arena. I am working on my mindset, and slowly dimming that image of me in a wheelchair, using Tai Chi. My goal is to sit on Callie before the year is out. Just sitting on her would be marvelous 😃
