Re: So..... my journey is over.....
Posted: 08 Oct 2013, 21:17Thank you everyone for all your lovely supportive comments, I'm really touched that you've all bothered to comment. I'm amazed you all think I look so young too.... I think the camera caught me in a good light.... or I have good genes, I guess!
AnnieD... I was long-lining my Joey - that photo was taken in September of last year...
I'd had a nasty riding accident back in the May of '12 - badly broke and displaced 6 ribs and damaged my spleen so my confidence was shattered and I vowed not to ride our 16hh Clydie as he is too tall!! Joey kind of found me in August, about a month before the above pic was taken and has been a true "lifesaver" in terms of not having put a hoof wrong since he arrived. He came to me overweight too so I was trying to lose some and working him from the ground back then!!!
Fast forward to last weekend and we're looking a lot trimmer between the pair of us. My confidence has grown SO much now... I feel happier riding than I have done for years, let alone since my accident and it's all down to my gorgeous little tri-coloured man. He never showed a problem carrying me when I was 13 stone but just because he could, doesn't mean he should - he was a very important part of my reasons for losing the weight... and I'm sure he's a lot happier for it!!!

Re: So..... my journey is over.....
Posted: 08 Oct 2013, 21:35Oh if you want to see the gory details....
I got carted off to hospital, thinking I'd just winded myself and then found out I'd done all that. Was a bit tiresome as I had a mare with a month-old foal at the time!!!

Re: So..... my journey is over.....
Posted: 09 Oct 2013, 03:23Not that you looked too bad in your before pictures, but your AFTER picture looks like it is a different person!!!! You look much- much younger than 50 - I would say, some 30-40-iish! So inspirational! Thank you!
Re: So..... my journey is over.....
Posted: 09 Oct 2013, 03:54Congratulations on reaching your goal Domane. I am so happy for you. 
I agree with Benchurki, Domane, if that's what 50 looks like bring it on!
Cheers,
