Yes it did rain, but it was GOOD and rained at night... all done by this morning, so I slept in which was niiiiiice... fed the critters and myself, then did some chores until it was time to get Luna and go ride. I figured she would play catch-me-if-you-can like she usually does so I went out half an hour early to get her so I wouldn't be late meeting my friends. Of course then she let me catch her right up so being so early, I decided to go ahead and give her a little trim BEFORE the ride instead of after. She was good for that and I took off a quarter inch from her heels like Rusty told me, and evened up one hoof that was growing more on the outside than the inside, and I think I did a pretty darn good job! So I was proud of myself. Of course it took longer than I thought it would so I was just a little late getting to Lisa's house but they weren't quite ready yet anyway and I tack up fast so it was all good. Then Luna was a total brat throughout the whole ride {sigh} so when I came home, I went ahead and e-mailed the guy Randy met who was possibly interested in leasing her. My back is killing me and I just don't need this!!! However I am quite happy that I had a "normal" weekend of riding all three days!!!!! YAY ME!!!!!!
It could be, I suppose, that my back hurts because of all the dirt I shoveled today... I moved 3 loads this morning to low spots in the mini pens, and after I got home from riding Randy and I managed to get 3 trees planted. The tractor punches a good hole but I still have to dig the dirt out by hand because of course Randy can't... poor guy he hates it when I have to work so hard and he can't help. He was upset that he had to quit before we got all 5 trees in the ground, but the other two holes are prepped and ready so we will just finish tomorrow. And while the critters' dinner was soaking, I moved one more wheelbarrow load of dirt... so now I just want to go sit and relax!
Oh and you'll never guess where Randy found my camera {eyes rolling here}. It was on the computer desk, just back further than where I usually set it and under a piece of paper... SIGH!!!!! Oh well at least it's found! I will try to get some pictures of Luna's feet tomorrow before it gets dark and maybe the trees we planted... it's been too long since there were pictures on this blog! I might also be able to copy some of the pictures other people took on Saturday and add them to that post, I will try...

I have chronic back pain and have had PT for it in the past. One of the recommendations was to take your pain meds, i.e., aspirin, prior to doing a physical activity that you know is going to put strain on your back. I always take something before I ride and it enables me to stay relatively pain free both during the ride and afterwards.
Seems like that's always the way it goes with horses. You plan something will take you longer so you add the time and it goes smooth. Then, of course, the other end is true. You don't plan you get burned and end up late. Done both. LOL
No wonder you back hurts. Mine wants to ache just thinking about digging holes and moving dirt. I do have some low spots to fill myself so guess my back will be joining yours in the discomfort department.
I just recently lost my checkbook and was tearing my hair out. Turned out same story as your camera. I hate those DUH... moments.
