Broken pelvis, broken dreams.

In less than optimum news, I'm now stuck on crutches with a broken pelvis and can't ride for 3 months. THREE. WHOLE. MONTHS. Meaning I'll miss being able to use my Christmas holidays to ride, I'll lose out on all the hard work Kadey and I have been doing AND I'm going to miss most of the next show season as I can't ride til March, then will need a few months to get my seat back in order as it'll be a bit different.

My family all want me to sell Kadey and I guess I have some big thinking ahead. It's so hard, we've done so much work and I love him to tears. But he's always going to be a bit flighty. But he's so lovely. But, but, but....

Hungry pony is hungry...

I had to walk Kadey to his old agistment place this morning as the neighbours are bringing a crane into his paddock to access their yard (super). Must have been a funny sight - pouring rain, girl carrying 2 massive and heavy buckets of horse feed and an umbrella in one hand and a hungry thoroughbred in the other....

Kadey: Can I have some now?
Me: No.
Kadey: Can I have some now?
Me: No.
Kadey: Can I have some now?
Me: No.
Kadey: Can I have some now?
Me: No.
Kadey: Can I have some now?
Me: No.

Fail: My horse is a bay, not brown. Whoops!

Uhh.... whoops. For some reason, I thought my new horse was brown, when in fact he's mahogany bay. It just hit me when I looked at a photo from my first visit.

I think the confusion came about because on my first visit to see him it was pouring so I only saw him dry for a moment then he became a soaking wet seal brown, almost black.

Anyhoo, ha ha whoops. Owner fail. Here's a better pic of his colouring:

versus the colour I had in my head:

 

EDIT: But wait, there's more. In these pics he almost looks black. Ugh! Can't win!
