The rehab: a lot to think about.

Biasini and I are rehabbing together at the walk. You might think that there is not much that can be done while just sitting on a horse who is walking. Well , let me tell you there is plenty for me to be focusing on and doing. Here is a short video of my “walking ” lesson with Lysney Rowan who has been riding Biasini for most of the last year while have been off with my hip issues.

As you can hear I am not allowed to just be sitting up there. Lynsey knows Biasini well and she knows his usual response is to pull his head down and pull me forward with it. But that is not acceptable. And in working with him like this it keeps him in a better frame and that maintains his abdominal muscles and neck muscles. Here is another short video.

So there you have it. I am getting back using my brain as well as my body. I am also really enjoying being back on Biasini and having some lessons.

    So many of us have followed your journey and that of Biasini. I, with all of the rest, am so happy to see you working as a team once more. I’m guessing it means even more to you now that it did before, and that’s saying something indeed. Anne.

      Thank you! They are tall and need to have stakes to support them as we have had lots of strong winds .

    The silver lining to my hip fracture was that the xrays revealed the socket liner was finished.

    Good for you, Anne. I am amazed that the doctor lets you ride after breaking your hip. A gazillion years ago when my husband had both hips replaced, they told him one thing he couldn’t do was to ride a horse. I can’t imagine either you or Biasini without each other! Manny sends his love to you both. 🙂

      Well, when I saw the surgeon

      1. anne leueen Avatar

        Who was going to replace my right hip 21 years ago. I asked if I could ride. He said:” of course it is just forbidden to fall off!” So on I went I had my left hip replaced 11 years ago. The socket liner of my right hipbhad worn out so my recent surgery was to replace that.

    Excellent to see – I don’t think you are “just” sitting there – there’s a lot of muscles involved in riding, especially after such a long absence.

    1. anne leueen Avatar

      Yes indeed!

    YAY! It’s been a long year but there’s nothing like the strides of the horse under you and the view between their ears. Good to see you two together again! ❤️🐴❤️
