Note to Self (and anyone else who reads this)

Don't load your tack into the trailer in flip-flops!

Here's the story:

I was going to haul Angel and Squirrel down to Pendleton to ride with Tracy Kenyon. She is a barrel racer and ran the Pro circuit in the past. I figured I could get two ridden, and get some pointers from a pro girl! Sort of my own private clinic.

Anyway, I was loading my tack into the trailer. I was pretty much done and stepped up to hang the extra cinch on the hook. I took a step back, caught my flip-flop and fell backward out of the trailer.

So now I'm bruised and hurt, muscle spasms and twinges every time I try to move... or breathe.

My husband and I are a matched set!

So no horses get ridden today, no poop gets picked up, the arena doesn't get groomed, and the dishes don't get done.


*sigh*

Oh no...I have done stuff like that too. I am SO guilty of feeding in flip flops, something I KNOW I will live to regret and yet I do it.

yep! And I turn horses out in flip-flops. I'm going to get stepped on one of these days. brings new meaning to "keeping at arms' length"
