Hi Claire,
I didn't want to put your comment on the main blog page without your permission. If you'd like me to comment in the next weeks' blog, can you copy and paste your question into a comment attached to the last Ride Better blogpost (week 6) ? Sincerely, Heather

Hi Claire, I also forgot to mention that you can sign up to get monthly fittips I send out, by emailing me at personaltraining@equifitt.com . Subscription is free, but your real email address is required for it.

Hi Claire,
why don't you post this comment to the blog (it helps keep the blog in the highlighted list for one, and for two, I'm sure there are many people out there who had to stop riding for similar reasons and have similar questions, so the answers would be helpful to many). I think you need to post yourself, and since you commented to me privately, I didn't want to take your private story and put it up there. However, as said above, I would be happy to respond to your question in my blog entry next week. Becuase this is a visual media, if you have a photo of yourself from your riding days that you could also post, I think readers would like that, and it would make the exchange more personal. What would also help my comments would be to know what discipline you rode/what you want to do, and what you worked on or were challenged by or were aiming at when you were riding, and additional challenges the accident might be causing you. I am not a physiotherapist, but as a personal trainer I can indeed give you some suggestions (which of course is always good if you check with your doctor or physio).

Yes, that's Ramirus& Rhumba- have you been on the website? I can't remember...or is it too difficult on dial up?Debbie has another pic of Rhumba there,also taken in winter-people have said both pics would make good Christmas cards. If you can go on, check out Annie-our mascot...she's the one with the ears! Looking forward to seeing Lacey. J. You're welcome to join Euro Equestrian, as a breeder,if you're surfing groups... Speak to you soon

Hi Claire, no worries - things are always wild over the holidays! I don't know exactly where Holstein is, but I'm here in Toronto and my horse is in Stouffville. I really hate the cold and snow and must confess that I've started whining about it earlier than usual this year! Do you have a number of horses? I have one, and he's a cutie!

srry i guess the computer made the picture too big srry i didnt meen to add one so big i thought it would cum out smaller. :(

hey nice to meet u too and i think u should add sum photos of ur horses cause i'd luv to see em so can u or do u not own a digital camera cause if u dont u can save sum from google and save videos from you tube. Oh and look at this picture of my dog Cupcake.

Hey Claire, just logged in...I see you are on line and updating your profile...nice shot of Houston...when your email came thru there was a roan pony as your photo and I was trying to figure out who it was, when your photo changed...obviously you are online.Wish you could watch videos,there are some awesome ones on here! Some of the blogs are quite good too though,I like the one on fifth-leg-training,something I have always believed in,but didn't think anyone really bothered with any more...Good luck with your blankets... speak to you soon. J

Good luck with your horses!
