Plan B

This morning a decent riderless w/o with a few spurts. A little less gloomy than yesterday's post after reconsidering the situation. The trailer is almost ready for travel. Engineering problem on the truck with its too high wheel base next, and, economics willing, a possible trip to the race track in the next two weeks to begin track training of our horse. I avoid thinking what a round trip to Eureka costs these days at 12 mpg.

I was very glad to avoid getting on this morning. Feeling good in making an intelligent decision. Zero point to risking reinjury or even permanent injury. From past experience I know I can get them pretty close to ready just training riderless, and also that the particular injury, an aggravation of an old sports injury, does tend to heal completely over course of 4 weeks. Being already two weeks into healing it, the smart thing to do is wait it out, and hopefully get the horse to a race track and start the training. Lots of ifs in that in our situation and will continue to feel this along and see how it goes. Try to conclude on mental aspect of racing next post.
