I'm starting to feel a bit sad as I'm so close to the end of my stay and it'll soon be time to go back home. It's been a unique and amazing experience to be here and of course it will be good to get back home and see my dog and my family and friends but it will be a wrench to leave and I doubt I'll ever have the chance to come back again. As I sit here in the kitchen looking over the distant mountains now that the sun has burned away the morning mists I'm wondering what changes in my life ahead will come out of this. Probably it will be something that I can't imagine or predict right now, but I know that some alteration will occur or something new will come into my life. It's just not possible to go through an experience like this and not alter my life's course in some way.
I spent some in the morning scootering around taking more pictures of the beautiful horses and scenery, then after a quick lunch it was time for another ride. I did a few circuits of the track with Celebrity, then into the arena to work some more on his neck reining and my riding skills.
Although I still need help to get my right leg over the saddle when dismounting, I think my legs have improved somewhat, maybe because or maybe in spite of pushing through the pain barrier.
