Updates! Tenor is a 98% unicorn. In late July, my riding partner, Sharon and I went on trail-ride at a park. We were in some high bushes around us. The bushes moved, Tenor spun so fast, I only knew I was falling off. He did a 180 and I did a 90. I can’t mount him from the ground, so (after we found my missing boot), we walked and discovered a trucked parked next to a lake near enough that I could walk there. I was dead on my feet. I got into back of truck, stood up and mounted Tenor. I was barely alive. We made it back to trailer and Sharon did all the unsaddling and brushing. I now am dizzy when I sit up from the bed and sometimes from a chair. Dr said, better stop that riding! Ha!
A month later….I’m getting these sores under my boobs and in armpits. Finally got sore enough and not responding to any horse wound salve. Yesterday at Dr, I discovered I have Shingles. Medicine and prescription salve made me better today. I had two vaccinations against shingles!
Tenor went to Florida to be with Jenny for 30 days of riding twice a day. She and Tenor will be competing against Tony and Fancy in addition to Erin Patterson on a highly trained horse. This will be some kind of crazy competition.
I let, Doug Summy, a good friend of Nathan’s from their church years come to my property and live in a large van. He moved here from Louisville. He is a Theater Technical Director for a high priced private college-prep school! I also have his Golden Retriever! She is smart and beautiful and loves to swim in the lake.
“Doug” thinks he has gone to heaven. finding his best friend’s mother and enough ground to park hi bi g van. He will be living on my property, so I’m no longer alone. My son is over the moon happy that I have a “wellness monitor”! Doug does come into the house to wash his clothes and shower. He is very quiet and nice, a perfect boarder.
