Alrighty this happens to be a very important aspect to recovery, all the ending that will come to an end and all the new beginnings and old closed chapters. This goes continually throughout life, all the way around. This does not just go for recovery, or therapy at all.
Much of this all goes with life all the way around, life that there really are only two options when comes to a person life, either live or die. But, in other aspects there are old endings and new beginnings that is where I am going with this.
Now after my accident, that closed my flying chapter as well as my team roping and rodeoing chapter besides what I am going to do next year in motivation on Pablo. That is to after he is legged back up, by family friends son. I will be back on him, thank to my moms coworkers husband, he rigged up a saddle lift for me to lift the d=saddle by myself and put on him seeing I am unable to do that by myself completely after my spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury recovery
Next year, y’all I am going to do arena riding videos in the morning time as well as riding around the pasture videos on Pablo next year as part of motivation. It will feel great to be back on baby boy Pablo, he’s not young he’s older now. I call him baby boy out of endearment, especially since he has the personality of an oversized dog. He happens to be a really neat horse, really neat addition to the family.
Cherokee, y’all I don’t know if I will ride him again or not, he’s lots older now and his attitude may be a little bit of a problem, that was why I primarily rode Pablo after my accident, especially seeing he is like an oversized dog.
Thanks to a family friend from way back years ago, she called my dad whenever had this horse and needed a home. He was somewhat broke to ride, and I went over and picked him up in Holden, Missouri one evening after leaving Manhattan, Kansas with the truck and trailer coming home from K-State for the weekend, that was when I was there for a year.
I remember lots of being over at this family friends house growing up, goodness grief all the time rode around their arena and was at team ropings and ranch rodeos with them as well as regular rodeos. He is a nice horse, I knew when she said he would make a nice horse he would, one she’s a dang tough cowgirl and for two she’s not much on BS.
I really have been blessed time and time over and over again in this life y’all, really. It was really sad as I drove out of her driveway with Pablo who was then named Jake, but I already had the paint horse (TBI number 1 horse) Jake at home and he looked like a Pablo or Paco, Freddy was the other name but Pablo fit him, then Cherokee the other one. This was shortly after loosing my two eyed jack bred horse Gizmo, but where I was going with this was it looked like she was crying as I drove away and that made me think on the way home the whole way, I need to take care of this horse and I remembered all the animals I lost throughout the years.
Y’all, when you loose an animal they become part of the family a lot of the times, and they are really good to have around and have around for warmth and to cuddle up next to at times.
Well thank y’all God bless
