That is pretty neat in it's own right, I have always enjoyed your blog since the day I found it and i do look forward to reading it. You do have a way with words. <br /><br />Did I miss the due date?

I can't believe how great I feel when I ride. I think it is a combination of physical activity and doing something normal with my horse. I am sure that riding will not be comfortable at some point, but for now, I am still happy to go out for a gentle ride on nice days.<br /><br />What an awesome compliment!

Finishing the roll is difficult since I can't really bend over anymore so I do as much as I can using my knee as a stand. So long as you don't get stuck on bed rest or whatnot you should be able to take care of him most of the way and only let him get a little overgrown at the end.<br /><br />Obviously if Harley was anything less than a sweetheart I wouldn't recommend it (I gave up my clients at 12 weeks), but your own horse that's used to you taking care of his tootsies shouldn't be an issue :)smazourekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029180368325070266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603946585821420123.post-9741960375642572122013-02-18T12:54:02.092-05:002013-02-18T12:54:02.092-05:00Congratulations!

It would be so much fun to teach them together. At least we can share our adventures virtually and lend support. :)<br /><br />Thank you for the exercise link. I am experiencing some of that pain already. I bought a support belt, but I have not used it at work yet. That time is growing (pun intended) near, because I have passed the halfway mark.

Now I just need the farm to go with it!<br /><br />Harley had a few little kids on his back for lessons this summer. He was very good. In fact his MO was to stop when he wasn't sure what to do next (He also tried to sniff poop once, but what can you do?). He is very easy to steer and stop so the most difficult thing was getting the kids to use small movements with their hands and just sit down to ask him to stop. One kid loved backing him up, but I think he got a little annoyed with that after like the fifth time. I will have to teach my kid to have restraint. The biggest problem was that they had trouble riding his trot. It had way too much bounce for all by the eleven-year-old. ;)Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335385366138424092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603946585821420123.post-15968282729806522482013-02-18T08:24:04.689-05:002013-02-18T08:24:04.689-05:00So you were able to ride for most of your pregnanc...So you were able to ride for most of your pregnancy? That is great. I am playing it by ear, but, of course, my riding is all very low key.
