Hi thought I'd post this to help heal and motivate those interested in horses that would like to share how they are managing with their lovely steeds and their family. And would like to share their stories and pictures to inspire others that sport and exercise may help especially by participating when possible and taking your mind off things for a moment

    My balance is shot and 'Big' can be such an arse I haven't been on him for ages. It's on the 'to do' list.

    I would love to go horse riding again but its so expensive to go on a guided trail ride it will have to wait.

    I am sadly about to have a Mastectomy, of my left breast, reconstruction and Chemo and radiation.
    Surgery is booked for the 12th July.
    I am 53 yrs old and am a competitive Dressage rider.
    I am hoping that l do not lose too much time from riding, although it is winter and l am sure that my horse will enjoy a well earned break.
    I turned down my PS suggestion to reconstruct my breast using my back muscle as l was concerned that it could affect my horse riding, l do not have enough fat for too many options, so am going to go with a tissue expander for now to be replaced by an implant, l am hoping that radiation does not ruin things.

    Hi Kazmar, I'm doing neo adjuvant then bilateral mastectomy (one preventive) with diep, as also concerned about my back muscles. Met another rider in her late 50's who had also double mastectomy without a reco. She is Amazing

    Aww Brenda good for you. Post some photos. That's so great. You may need to do some stretches and afterwards especially. And try and do some walking if you can to help as you maybe muscle sore over the next day or so.  Big cyberhugs to you - what a woman! well done!!!! Xxx

    Way to go, @Brenda5 you might feel out of practise, but I bet you have a smile all over your face.
    I hope you had a great ride.

    Hey Brenda, I'm really glad you went for that ride on the horse. Did it give you a good feeling to be back on a horse after all that time ?
