My leg is getting much better but is still sore. As I was getting things packed in my tack trunk last night I came across my tub of Mineral Ice. I've used it on the horses and a little voice in my head said to try it on my leg. I put it on this morning before work and within a half hour my leg felt great. It was cool and tingly; felt like I had an ice pack on it. It lasted about an hour or so and really helped me get through the day.

I put another coat on my leg before heading out to the barn. I got Tia ready as I felt it kick in. We had a short ride, but I as able to hold the canter (part of that could have been my spurs) and we did a quick jump school over a few fences. I'm still not 100% but hopefully by Saturday I will be!
My friend's braiding Tia in the morning, and apparently the "thing" is to have a charm braided into one of the braids. Since the show's a cancer fundraiser, I found a small pink ribbon charm that hopefully Corie and work into the braid. I also got a pink ribbon pin to wear instead of a traditional stock pin.
Good luck! It's neat that they are doing it as a cancer fundrasier.
ReplyDeleteThe former H/J trainer died of breast cancer so they are doing it in her name. I think this is the 3rd or 4th year they've done it.
DeleteI use Biofreeze for sore muscles, and it's amazing. Make sure to take pictures of the charm and pink ribbon pin! I love that you are adding these small special touches to support the cause :-)
ReplyDeleteWhen all else fails, use stuff made for horses! :) Good luck with the show.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
