Multiple Sclerosis - Session Canceled, Too Sore To Ride

I made an attempt to go to the farm this morning, but once I got there, my legs were tight and my balance wasn't good - typical MS stuff. In addition, I forgot Leslie was having camp this week for the riders she coaches and they were using the outdoor ring. The thought of trying to ride Bouffe in the indoor, was something I didn't want to do with my legs and balance the way they were.

My legs and balance had been off all weekend. I think all the ground work I did with Bouffe last week was the reason. It has happened two other times, with other horses, and I know now for sure, I can't do ground work! I also think that the Devon Aire britches I was wearing were making the tightness worse buy clinging to my legs, which is what they are supposed to do. I am not going to wear them if I am not wearing boots. I was wearing paddock boots today so there was no need for the britches, khakis would have been better and I intend on wearing them when ever possible from now on. 

I am going to try to ride either tomorrow or Wednesday depending on how I feel, the weather (it is suppose to rain) and what ring Leslie and Robin (on Wednesday) are using.
